I was enamored by your passion for Camaro and your true respect for all of us that shared a love for Camaro as well.
I loved the wit in your postings that always showed your love for all things "Fbod". And the wrath of the Man in the Black Suburban to those who dared challenge you or Camaro. You always looked out for us the customer which endeared you to all of us, because you were one of us.
Your assembly of the 12 Disciples of which there are 15, gave all of us non-disciples a real voice in what we would like to see in current and future Camaros. I am not aware of any other car company in the world that would take a risk like that. It definitely sets you and the Camaro Team apart from everyone else.
I absolutely know what it is like to leave a job that you truly love and 'retire'. We both know that if you truly love your job and the people you work with, it was never a job. It was more like Grand Theft for getting paid for doing something that you truly love to do. Unfortunately getting older is a very unpleasant fact of life. But it is not the journey, it is the people you meet along the way. They help shape your road and I know you helped so many countless people along your path. You will always be revered and you will always be our Fbodfather!
Take care of yourself and remember that you will always have a place in our home. Steve and Leslie
