Kinda reminds me of the days back in 2002 when we thought it was all over then. In January 2002 I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a new M6 SS. Didn't get built until April, but in the meantime, I decided to write the plant and tell them how much I appreciated their efforts. I grew up in a GM family for real, and I know how it feels for the guys building cars for faceless customers.
Then, out of the blue, the plant manager sent me back a letter, along with photos of MY CAR flanked by several of the plant workers, with a sign made up to say "this one's for you", along with a huge thank you card signed by a truckload of plant personnel. It really made my year. I got the pictures while the car was still enroute to the dealer. Crazy! They built the car, sent it to SLP for upfit, and then after the SS goodies were added, sent it back into the plant for photo ops. It also was the last Camaro to be pictured in the very last Ste. Therese plant newsletter. They translated my letter in French for "those guys" in the plant. It was just a really neat experience and the ULTIMATE in swag, IMO.
And it was ultra cool to see it come to the dealership so I could finally take delivery!
