Not so sure, they could be trying something like this.

If the thread doesn't fit, you must acquit.

He made a mistake, believing something he heard. He wasn't trying to plant misinformation.

Those of you who have never made a mistake, feel free to keep jumping on him. Those who have made at least one mistake, let's move on. Less than three days till we get it all.

The video production of the autoline after hours show which is on weekly is usually available a few minutes after the show ends around 7 pm Thursday evening.

for some reason the show was not available to link to for your viewing until 10 am this morning.

You guys can bitch and moan all you like but if you listen to the show starting at 55.56 minutes you will see where this gentleman stated the Corvette Z06 embargo is lifted at 12.01 am.

Possibly the show was not available last evening after the show for links for just that reason. Every week the show is available upon completion for viewing but last night as I posted this thread there was no show available to link to.

John McElroy is one of the most respected automotive journalist in the industry. His panel of guests throughout the year are among the most respected in the industry. Check who he has had on his previous shows if you don't believe me.

Have a nice day guys and I do apologize that the embargo did not end at 12.01 am.

Maybe the reason the show was held till 10 am today instead of last evening as usually occurs is because...

Dare I say it....Lthat the embargo is ending this evening at 12.01 ???

Don't shoot the messenger and at this point I'm just hypothesizing.

we know he is not a troll.. 10 year member. Yes he did honestly make a mistake. does not change that we all are left with blue *****.

I think we are all bustin his chops.

Exactly. Honest mistake. PAINFUL....but honest mistake.

If I heard McElroy say that, I would have believed him too. Looks like he just forgot what day it was. Getting older sucks!

Not the first time he has stated a "fact" that was not a fact.

He's from Jersey..........WHADDA YA WANT!!!

DREAMERAK

Like you did when you said the C7 wouldn't have a optional performance exhaust?

I can't help but wonder if when they said the "Embargo will end", what they meant is that GM would provide details on the Z06 to the media so that the media can start writing their stories in advance of Monday's unveiling. That does not mean that information would become public domain. Instead, simply that the media would receive details under NDA with the agreement that any of the information provided in advance on Mondays unveil would have to be kept secret until that time. If that is the case, I could see how a journalist would be excited and may even mention that in the language he used. Something that could easily me misinterpreted.

No hard feelings Jerri! Thanks for sharing what you heard even if it wasn't what some people were hoping for. Things are getting exciting around here again and next week should be really fun at CF!

not bad.

aw fudge! I mean son of a bee sting, or rather Jiminy Christmas, maybe even fiddlesticks.

I served in the Marines and then went to Alaska and worked on commercial fishing vessels all my life. Men do not swear period. In fact men don't curse in front of women or children and in public place such as a restaurant or public forum. The don't curse without reason and were you to do so where I'm from you'd be asked to desist and if you didn't there would be bloodshed. Thats how men do it.

I've nothing to add, the last word will be yours as I'm sure you're going to want to describe how 12 year olds handle cursing. The response will be noted and given due consideration.

musclecar6

Men don't swear !?!?!?!?!?! What are you smoking ? Sure, guys with half a brain and a lttle civility don't carry on with profane language in situations where it's not appropriate, but they certainly do in a lot of situations where it's okay.

Damn, doesn't that sound familiar!
