good bye!

hey guys, i wanna start off by saying all of yall have been awsome on here, and have helped me greatly in helping me with questions and problems that ive had with my 2006 F250. you really couldnt ask for a better group of people! i actually just purchased a 2010 Chevy Camaro 2ss/rs. and traded my ford in! I've always been a Chevy man until my F250. I just joined up with Camaro% a forum for just Camaro's hopefully the guys over there will be just as good!!! Thanks again for all the help i received over the past year and a half!


Thanks Again,

Tripp

I've owned 13 GM cars and will never own another. Every one of them was a POS and now that they are Government Motors and contune to lie about paying back the tax-payers, they can and should have failed. I had a Camaro SS and it was fun to drive but the fit and finish was horrible. Good luck, get a Japanese car I did and compared to GM cars the Japanese is faster and put together very nicely.

them cameros look pretty nice but wont last, all that plastic will be saggin in 10 years remember the 80 big iroc and such, wow they look really bad now. anyhow you will never NEVER find another forumn with this much support and good members. FTE is the reason i will only buy ford trucks. I wish there was more like this but there just isnt.

good luck with your new camero and let the depreciation gods run slow!

High Binder ,, kinda Harsh ?? or did it take you thirteen times to burn your hand in the fire to realize it's hot

kidding

I have an 81 fullsize GMC Jimmy and our 03 Tahoe
not to mention a few Astro vans in the process ,, every one of them has done it all above and beyond my High expectations

My last truck was a 05 GMC 4x4 2500 HD the front end sucked and I think I just read they finally beefed it up this year ? Still my ford has proven a far better truck ..

as far as Mustang to Camaro ? don't know ,,

those 80's camaros etc had some big arsed doors that cause iddues that and the EPA paint era

Not harsh at all, GMs sub-par engineering (I'm a mechanical engineer) caused me endless grief and repair bills. I sold the K1500 just before it needed it's 3rd tranny. Sold the Camaro SS with an LS1 because it was just a motor, the rest of the car looked like it was put together by blind people. I've had 11 other GM cars and they all had issues like that. Than they take a bailout and lie about paying it back, I'm just done with GM in every aspect.

Don't know what to say? I had good luck with them both Ford and GM I just didn't like the o5's 2500 IFS it had no place on a truck IMHO

I guess I baby my vehicles and I am ridiculous at preventive maintenance
but I am only talking SUV/Trucks/Vans

I have no use for a car and have never owned one
