Why yes I work on the line in Oshawa - Page 61 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mr Mole & Mr Super60....

Knowing that you can say somethings and not say others, would it be possible to discuss any summer production line changeovers for other models built in Oshawa that could either boost Camaro flow or inhibit it? Also, we all know there is paint changeover scheduled sometime to flush the white being used on the Impala to the Summit White to be used on the Camaro and other 2010 model year units. Are you able to address when that changeover is scheduled so those of us waiting on White can estimate when it will go live on Workbench and bug the crap out of our dealers?

Thanks for the insight and remember that being in Canada has one attribute...Crown Royal is a domestic brand....

When the change happens and its announced to the workers via the in-plant newspaper then we can release that info to the different sites. I really wish i had an answer for you but i don't have a timeline.

Yup, just one for now.

Which really does not make sense... you would think now would be the time to have more shifts...

Thats way over my pay scale to decide !!

SQUALO · 04-18-2009, 06:27 PM

Grow up people, we should be saying "Thank you" for employees putting their jobs on the line to keep us up to date.
Those who don't like it, should "troll" elesewhere. Before we know it WE will all have our cars, and will no longer require up to date information. At that point we will be sharing our own personal experiences about our cars.
Life is too short!

MNWild · 04-18-2009, 09:57 PM

Looks like your hard at work lol

KJS · 04-18-2009, 09:57 PM

HA!
Thanks to Super 60, Mole and anyone else from the floor who can give us info.
And by the way, its been said before, but we'll keep saying it, we REALLY appreciate 100% that fact that you all at the plant keep emphasizing how important quality is and that means A WHOLE S#*T LOAD to each and every Camaro owner.
Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Impius · 04-18-2009, 10:06 PM

Listen guys,
Give him a break. He's going out on a limb here just to help you guys and all he gets in return is mistreatment and derision. That's jacked up. I mean look at all the quality info he has given you guys. I mean who knew that there were blue cars there until the Mole risked everything to spill the beans.

I too work at Oshawa and I can tell you from experience that if anyone got caught giving out the high-level top secret public knowledge baseless and otherwise useless information that the Mole has given us, then that person would be fried on the spot. And possibly fired too.

Here's a pic of me and the Mole at work. I don't actually do labor, I just designed one of the assembly robots pictured behind us.

Thank you Mr. Mole. I hope you can take the disbelievers with a grain of salt. Your insight and uplifting news when we need it is all we need. And besides you are a hockey fan so you are ok in my book. For those that think this is a hoax why dont you just move on to a different thread and slam someone that is truely slinging bullshi*. Oh by the way I am having Santa and the Easter Bunny over for lunch tomorrow. Does anyone have a good Carrot recipe? Keep it up Mr. Mole most of us enjoy the updates and insight.
