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.

A very good friend of mine that I work with just bought a 2007 AO coupe. He and his wife took the Vette to the nursing home the other night to see her brother who is 68 years old, retired from GM as a Tool & Die Maker, and has a rare form of Parkinson Disease that is in the advanced stages. 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.

Just kidding. You have to have some fun in the chicklet thread!
