I sincerely apologize.

Personally if I worked at GM for that of period of time I would cry also. Luckily Corvette has not been a casualty of Gm's bad business decisions. It is still a great product.

These chicklets remind me of my recent trip to hawaii , where i ended up hiking to a spot where there was an abandoned old 70's Grand Prix crumbling away. no-one knows how it got there, as it is impossible to drive to that spot. and as a car guy I was fascinated by it, i couldn't believe what the years of ocean air had done to the car. Anyway I picked up the "body by fisher" tag from the driver door sil, it just reminded me of my pop's oldsmobile cutlass back in the day and I thought it was cool. I think I'll keep the chicklets when i get my c6.

I actually don't mind them. One thing I do mind is when they are not flush..... makes it look like an unfinished product. But then again that is just the OCD in me.

They convinced the nurses to let them take him outside in a wheelchair to see the Vette.

When my friend pointed down at those "damn chicklets", his brother-in-law saw the GM logo and started to cry. Said he was so proud to have worked for GM.

I have said before that those "damn chicklets" are a source of pride for GM employees. I will be leaving mine on.
