I actually paid attention to the increments in our '08 Equinox.

It has 20mpg increments, and it doesn't bother me in the least. I'm fine with it either way.

That's a nice paintjob there! Reminds me that I can always repaint my Camaro if I don't think any of the factory colors are juuuust right.

First, I apologize for being a newbie.

Secondly, I apologize for apologizing as I know it's not a good enough excuse if what I'm about to ask is stupid but with 11 pages this thread alone I don't feel the search function would really help me here. Basically, I have two questions:

1.) What's a disciple, as referred to in this thread?

2.) How did you get to become one?

The more detail, the better

Thanks in advance...

Signed,

Newbie

the Disciples were people chosen by FbodFather from THIS site to actualy come in contact with and then give their opinions on the car.

They met at the milford meeting grounds, saw the cars, sat in the cars, and DROVE the cars. They offered advice concerning aspects of the car, and were then sworn to secrecy.

If you want more detail, read the first post in this thread

errr...not quite. Specifically, that Fbod did not choose them, and our site had just started up around the time when they were chosen; so they weren't 'from' here.

Here's a detailed description from Scott:

No biggie...a lot of people don't remember how all this went down. (I didn't...I needed the link for most parts!)

It's never too late!!

(And look at it this way)
You joined JUST in time. Because come Monday, there's going to be a MASSIVE amount of information available about the car around here. So, great timing!

Good point. I will retain my optimism and look forward to learning more on Monday. I can't wait til I can drive this car... but I think I'm far from the only one!

Does anyone know what ever happened to the video of the disciples first seeing the new Camaros? I've looked all over and all links point to GM's site that seems to have it removed?

I wanted to see it again...

chef-beavis · 12-09-2010, 10:10 AM

still looking

I wish they could have given us a copy. It would make a neat souvenir of the experience.
