"Thank You" just seems inadequate to me at times...Scott, John, Cheryl, and so many more whom we'll never know/meet have done so much for our beloved Camaro. 
Because of the Camaro, I've been able to become a part of an incredible group of people. People like Scott just don't "grow on trees", and I feel honored to call him my friend. 
If you ask me, the Camaro's greatest asset is the people you meet from owning one, the experiences and memories you have from owning one, and the friends you make by owning one.
So, I'd like to say, "THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!"

I was thinking of something I'd like to say and I read your post. I could not have said it any better myself. Good job, ED!

You can at least give me a "A = T" or something!!!
Nah...I remember it too. I was sitting in the computer room...my son was a year old... And the computer room is now my 2nd sons room.
(Time flies!!!)
There was this Camaro that rolled out that brought tears to my eyes. It was PERFECT. I could NOT believe what I saw. I mean...I saw concept after design concept from anyone and everyone out there...and I never got any reaction from any of them.
But, the silver concept literally brought tears to my eyes. Yeah...as corny as it may sound to some, it was that moving to me.
I've never been moved to join websites....make posts...join in discussions...etc. I just saw a cool car way back and said "one of these days.l......" And then in 2000 it became a dream come true with my first Camaro. In 2002 I lived my dream of breaking away from dads "security umbrella" and went out on my own buying my first car ON MY OWN....a 2002 Z28...special ordered. In 2005, that car was put to rest by a 16 year old girl who snuck out of her house while grounded and took moms car...smashing it into my Z28. But, that put me into the dream I've always dreampt....a 2002 SS.
Since 2002, it's been nothing but Camaros....going to SLP raceday in Ennis, joining SuperChevy in Houston for 3 years in a row...AND in San Antonio, searching for more info by joining countless sites....Z28.com, CamaroZ28.com, and one of them which only had about 100 members or so at the time (and has grown to over 21,000 members....thanks, Camaro5!!!). It's been TONS of info since then...and making new friends....and of course, meeting Scott for the first time in October of 2006 at the Texas State Fair. After that 1st real car show, I was hooked....I saw the silver concept in person and I was awe inspired.
Scott, PERSONALLY, I thank YOU. First, I thank you for your friendship. You are truly a good person. YOU kept everyone going all these years.
YOU did. I don't care about what anyone else says. If people just let things go, it could have died forever. But, there was this group of people...this following....that KNEW what the Camaro meant...and what the meaning behind Camaro meant. It's a family. And you kept it together all these years. You are to be commended. By EVERYONE. I pray that those at GM know how much of an asset you are to them. You are so much more than an "employee...." You honestly are the "Fbodfather." I don't care how much or how hard anyone else tries, your shoes can't be filled.
And, with that, I'll wrap it up to say two final words. Thank you.
.......
Do you realize how much that meant to me that you were there when I took delivery of my SS at Toms? I mean....my wife, Tom, Rick, and you...??
...and you got to see my cry like a little baby....
I'll never forget it.
I'm so thankful to be part of "da family."
THANK YOU.
