I wish they would consider alternative options, though. :(

Thanks for the info, really wished there was something that could be done, especially after reading his post. I know how I would fell if I had to give up Dr Jkel, especially since I got a Lithograph, kinda makes me nervous driving in rush hour sometimes.

Oh well maybe it will be like Papa Johns Camaro and he can be reunited in the future.

No I'm not crying, I just have dust in my eyes!

Thanks for sharing. Mine is safe at home in the garage, but I am going to give it a big hug and take her out for a spin tonight in honor of Thor.

Thanks again.

Thanks Scott.

I get to pick mine up tomorrow.. From Lingenfelter. I ordered my Camaro the day GM declared bankruptcy back in April? I think.. It came to life 8/23/09 (the day it got a VIN#) . It arrived at a dealer 9/9/09. I get to pick up my Camaro RJT with white rally stripes tomorrow. It is 523 RWHP. It started life special, and will remain special.

That was a great post! Thanks Mr. Settlemire!

Goodbye Thor!

Think I'm gonna poor a little Sunoco Ultra 94 on the ground in honor of Thor. He would have wanted it that way.

This is what I'm saying, come join in the fun of owning one of this bad boys! Scott, I sure thank you for the work and the stories you've posted on here. This last post really reminded me how much I love this car and keeps the excitement level high. You really understand how we feel about our Camaros.

Changed.

That stinks

I know I'd be absolutely heartbroken if I had to give Rosalee back. I really can't explain the fact that I have a such a strong bond with my car. Rosie is like a 3rd child for me. I feel a strong urge to protect her at all times. I actually go out of my way to spend time with her. I worry myself to death if my husband takes her to the store without me, afraid he might not take as many precautions as I do to keep her safe. I watch closely when anyone gets in and out of the passenger's seat to make sure they aren't draggin their feet on the rocker panel, etc. I didn't want to let someone else change her oil because I didn't want their greasy hands all over her, besides the fact they might not put the right stuff in her. All of my friends and family keep saying "the new will wear off", but I have had several very nice new cars in my life and not ONE of them ever evoked emotion. They were just a means of transportation. So, Scott, I totally understand. And I'm very sorry for your loss. Where do I send flowers?

When I met Thor in Ohio.

Also, its so nice to know that Scott isnt afraid to get under the hood.
