Ahh.. an old Camaro, sweet ride.
If GM were to remake an authentic ‘69 Camaro with the upcomming Chevy VOLT battery system, and with performance like the Tesla, then I suspect their stock wouldn’t be as low as it is right now.
Make me GM CEO…

GM – the company that took away the El Camino and Oldsmobile and gave us Hummers.

El Jay is right. If GM was making only perfected ‘69 Camaros and 1955 Chevy convertibles, they would be outselling Toyota.

Smart lady. Even if the engine and drivetrain had to be rebuilt a couple of times, she saved big by not buying a new car every other year.

Just think of the junk she saved herself from owning and having to contend with.

Location Location Location!

It also helps to live in a location where your car doesn’t fall apart from rust after 5 years,..

instead of crunching the numbers on how many trips around the world, perhaps you should ask how many gallons of gas would it take a 69 Camero to drive a million miles

May the Good Lord give her and her Camero another million miles. As previously mentioned, and I am a big Chevy fan, why can’t GM get it togther? I still buy Chevy, but it keeps getting harder and harder!

She’s lying.
That Camaro’s odometer only goes to 100K,don’t tell me that she had all the docs and proof for this.
I saw a Geraldo show where some punk from the hood told Geraldo that he figured that he committed about 1 million car jackings…
This is new,fuzzy math from the hood,don’t buy it.

If the environmentalists have their way, we will all be driving 38 year old cars, just like the Cubans. Say “No” to the Obama Nation.

That’s about 26k miles per year over 38 years.

Hard to believe.

Environmentalists will be all over her a$$

“That’s about 26k miles per year over 38 years.

Hard to believe.”

Really? I drove over 20k miles every year when I lived in New Jersey, it’s a tiny state, and I never had a commute of over 40 minutes.

Don’t believe that everybody has the same routine as you.

[...] e ter rodado 1 milhão de milhas numa terra em que carro é item descartável. Ë uma fofa. Assista aqui o vídeo da entrevista e veja o Camaro deslizando pelas ruas com todo o vigor de um jovem de 38 [...]
