Camaro5 invades Oshawa to say Thank-you to GM workers.
What an incredible 48 hours for me. Before this thread explodes, the very first thing I need to say is that this website has some of the most wonderful people that God put on this planet. Why we are so blessed, I'll never know...
A special thanks goes out to Joe and all his employees at Martinrea. They understand the importance of ensuring employees get the opportunity to see the fruits of their labor. They understood what it means to bring "buyers and builders" together. They were such a class act and extremly hospitable. We are planning to fill their bigger parking lot next year. Click here to see our Martinrea visit: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45675 I want to thank single Camaro5 member that came out to the event. It is all of YOU who made it such a great success! The comaraderie (a very appropriate word) was second to none and most of us felt as if we knew each other for years. For 48 hours, we were all "old freinds" catching up on lost time. I will definitely strive to achieve the atmosphere from this weekend in next years "meet and greet" event as the emotion is something money cannot buy. The "early birds":

The "early birds" go get their cars washed at a local hand wash because Angel insisted that we make sure our cars are spotless for the rain we were scheduled to get 30 minutes later.

The "strangers" visit the factory striping facility. We can confirm that all rally stripe colors are now being applied.

Can't wait for the report!
Great start, wonderful pictures so far!
From those of us who could not attend, thank you again for representing us well, and I hope those who brought our cars to life know just how much we appreciate them!

Hey Hylton.....did you notice the mayors car was IOM? IOM FTW!
Thanks for putting the event together. It was great, weather couldve been better but atleast it didnt snow lol It was great meeting everyone and the convoy to the Pavilion was awesome. Hope to see you all again soon. I couldnt make it out to the plant tour today because of the knee :( Got ready, opened the door and found that my parents had already taken the auto Fusion So i was stuck with two standerd cars and a massive swollen knee |

Wish I could have been there, but the wife's b-day took precedence. Plus I'm still waiting for my Camaro (I wouldn't want to show up without it).
Keep the pics coming, and a big thanks to all the GM workers that have made the Camaro comeback possible.
