Glad you had a good meeting, pissed I could not make it but here is an update on my car.

So I got the car back last night, and they once again (third time) resealed the timing chain cover. They are claiming they “believe” the last tech did not torque the bolts properly! WHAT?!?!? I really don't believe this but what can I say?

So here is what has been done so far:
1- Resealed timing chain cover
2- Replaced and resealed timing chain cover
3- Resealed oil pain gasket
4 (latest attempt)- resealed timing chain cover.

4 oil leaks in 3 months is beyond unacceptable, oh and did I mention the car only has 13K miles and is 16 months old.

I have a case in with GM as I am beyond pissed with this and sorry to say have no faith in this car anymore, I really hope GM steps upt to the plate on this. Sad to say but I am truly considering selling the car and moving to a competitor.

Time to step up to an 1LE. Don't lose faith on the Camaro as this problem is a one off and most likely a tech issue after the first case.

Did I miss that part of the conversation, just like how I missed me apparently being multiple wills?

Nice!

Is this to go along with the planned paint job you want?

This is in lieu of painted stripes for now. I'm going to put off paint until after the first of the year. It WILL get done between the first and March, prior to the Camaro Rally.

I'm kind of relieved I made this decision because now I can include the new spoiler in the paint scheme when I'm ready.
