Looks like it was cold there...and wet too. Would have been nice if the weather would have cooperated. Were there a lot of people there?

I'd say there were a lot when I left. When we arrived everthing was off to smooth start, and some of us were able to test 3 vehicles

when my gf and i were there, there weren't that many people and honestly it was good that way. the cars preformed very well in the rain, i didn't have any play in the ass end for all 3 corvette drives and the 1 camaro drive and that was giving it a good amount of gas through the turn. i hope for good weather next year!

I think you'll like it compared to the SS; it handles really well. I put it in M mode (intuitively) when I first hopped in, but he said lets start off in D.

i loved the new camaro but i wasn't THAT impressed with it :( maybe because of the L99 but i didn't think having that engine instead of the LS3 would be that different

Arriving there at 6:20am while it was still dark and we were all zombies, Scott was bright eyed and bushy tailed. He had even just finished making some bagels for us...What a nice guy!

More and more people showed up for breakfast with Scott mingling and chatting with us, and around 8am or so, Scott sat us down and gave us a little information on the status of Chevy as well as the details of the test drives we were about to do. He then answered all our questions (some without answering) and sent us on our way. Not before coming out with Sharpies in hand to everyone that had an open hood or car door. American Revolution had a squad of about 8 or so cars rolling up in a convoy as we made our way out to the car corral. They roll deep and everyone of them sounded like a beast! It was nice meeting you Alfan and crew!

After taking the shuttle past the car corral to the test drive stations, there was a huge lineup of cars to drive from GMC/Buick/Chevrolet including the volt, cruze, equinox, camaro, malibu, corvette, silverado, and tahoe hybrid. Every station had informated employees waiting to answer any and all of our questions. There was a tremendous turnout even through the torrential downpour that started as soon as Scott was done signing our cars.

All in all it was a great day and I'm glad I was able to share it with some many enthusiasts. Hope to see you all next time!

and without further ado, pictures are below.
