Rick Mercer Report @ GM Oshawa - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Burnt_RS · 03-27-2012, 09:29 PM

Did anyone else see the RMR tonight (CBC @ 8ET)? He visited the Camaro line and also a few test facilities.

In a 5 minute segment, he made a mess of the silicone sealant they apply to the hood, smashed a seat into the side of a Camaro, and drove in the snow-simulated environment wind tunnel at over 200km/h. It was a funny segment, but I'm glad I already have my car and it wasn't on the line the day he was there, haha.

I'm sure there will be a youtube video in the near future for those that missed it.

It's good to know GM is letting more people see the inner workings of that plant (and surrounding facilities).

I was there when Rick Mercer was taping his segment. Frank, one of our DVT drivers
took him through the roll test. Although I didn't get to meet Rick Mercer and was as
close as a handshake, I too found the segment to be funny. Several of my co-workers
made it a point of meeting RM.
P.S. I unknowingly was filmed doing my job while Rick M was taping.
