Why don't you guys just call it a "Me too" panel? :moon:

From here on out, it will be known as the Ignorant Pannel.

Does that encompass bad spelling too?

BigAls87Z28 01-27-2009 09:16 PM

If you misspell it as Burger, yes.

Is that an homage to the future as well?

For thoes who continue to refer to the pannel as a "berger", yes.

GM will offer a blacked out tail pannel. So if you do call it a Berger pannel, you should be kicked in the balls.

Kinda on topic, why were 4th gens made in canada?

bubba428 01-27-2009 10:26 PM

Actually, all third gens were assembled in either Ohio or California. The Ohio plant shut down in 87.
Since California had tougher air regulations, the paint used in the paint there was water based. So that's why any 3rd gen made in California tends to have paint fade.

There was a deal struck in 87 to build the 4th gen in one of GM's most high tech, most flexible plants at the time, Ste.Therese since both Norwood was shut down in 87, and Van Nyes was being closed as well...I belive.

They could built all the cars in one plant, and the CAW gave GM a better deal then the UAW.
Canada will continue to build Camaro, only at GM's highest volume plant in North America. And they will only be building 100k cars a year in a plant that could pump out a half a million cars easily. Thats almost as bad as the Solstice/Sky/Opel GT/s2x production in Willmington where they make about 40k units in a plant designed for over 350k units.

The Ohio plant closed first, forget exactly when, and then Van Nuys, CA finished up production with the final car off the line being a red Z28 in 1992.

BTT, the Caliber/Caliper thing always bothers me when people say it. It is BRAKE CALIPER NOT CALIBER!!! lol

That date came to be known in Norwood as "Black Wednesday".

So, all fourth gens are Canadian, and thus inferior to third gens.

Yes, you haven't reached SlideRule status!

Although Bonzo is proabably an ENIAC

NastyEllEssWon 01-28-2009 10:40 AM

yeah i never heard anyone reference a berger panel to any other car but a 4th gen. so your argument is moot.



haha yeah i hate the CALIBER/CALIPER thing too.


Camaro/Camaro
Beretta/Baretta

those things annoy me too.

deadtrend1 01-28-2009 05:20 PM

I really hate "DUEL" cats or "DUEL" exhaust.

I mean, how can DUAL exhaust work properly, if the two pipes are battling with each other under the car?

WildBillyT 01-28-2009 05:23 PM

One more:

Apprently Vic Edelbrock still hasn't done enough for the auto industry to be a well known figure. I hear about Eldebrock, and Elderbrock probably more than I do the actual spelling.

BonzoHansen 01-28-2009 08:42 PM

..stay somewhere w/i topic please...

BigAls87Z28 01-28-2009 08:45 PM

You son of a bitch! I was right in the middle of editing it!!


ANYWAY
I hate when people refer to brake pads as "brake linings". I think im selling you brakes for a 32 Ford or something...

LTb1ow 01-28-2009 08:45 PM

Oh ok!
Got one!

When your talking to ford or import guys, and they always refer to is as "head and cams" Ford would be "heads and cams"

Ugh.

Ever get an old guy asking for 'pucks'?

BigAls87Z28 01-28-2009 08:47 PM

Ahaha...I laugh at them.
But you remind them that you swapped one cam and gained 35hp, they swapped 2 and gained 20.
And to make matters worse...you then tell them that they still own a Mustang

No, but when i was young, an old guy asked me for some donuts. I directed him to Double D's.

When people look at you really strangely when you describe points and setting dwell.
