Default Holiday thoughts....

As we celebrate the Holiday season and approach another new year, I’d like to thank each of you for your continued enthusiasm for our cars.....and also for your friendship. While it’s been over two years since the last Camaro and Firebird rolled off the line at Ste. Therese, the Fcar community remains strong. And being that we’re in the midst of the holiday season, I think I can share one tidbit with you: There’s an elf somewhere north of the artic circle that is putting out bids for a larger sleigh....seems he may need it in a couple of years..........

You know, It’s hard to imagine that not too long ago, we didn’t have the opportunity to “log on” and chat with friends. The advent of websites such as this have certainly made the world smaller in many respects. I’m hopeful that we’ll each take stock of what a great gift the internet may be....and use it to better our lives -- and make friendships stronger.

Speaking of “world” -- let’s not forget our men and women in other countries fighting for freedom. They’re sacrifices are many; but especially so at this time of year. Let’s all say a prayer for them...that they’ll be safe -- and more importantly -- that they’ll be home soon.

Regardless of your beliefs and religion, this is the season for giving. It’s a time for appreciation for what we have. It’s a time to look back, perhaps, and remember seasons past...but it’s also a time for looking forward. Please enjoy these next weeks with family and friends. Enjoy the spirit of the season, but I’d be remiss if once again, I didn’t warn of the dangers of drinking and driving. Please...don’t make one of our cars or trucks a lethal weapon. Furthermore, let’s not forget the importance of safety belts. I may sound like a broken record, but if it saves one of you...or one of your loved ones, then I’m glad to be a broken record........(oh, yeah...for you younger ones....we called them records...not CDs!!!)

On behalf of all of us at General Motors, may you have a safe and happy Holiday season and may the new year bring you all that is good.

Scott

Thumbs up

That elf north of the artic circle that is putting out bids for a larger sleigh better listen to the people and give us a 1969 Camaro retro style car.
Windshield more upright, seating position higher, telescopic steering wheel. The car must appeal to women as well to men! Get them damn insurance companies to lower the insurance rates so folks under the age of 25 can afford the car insurance! Yep then GM should be able to out sell the Ford Mustang!
