The orphan car show in Yipsilati will look more like a normal car show.

One comment I have in response to GM's build quality over the past several years is that personally speaking, I have an '01 Z-06 Vette that I use exclusively as a track car on the road course. I run about 8 track events per year, full bore, driving the hell out of it at the top of the A class with various clubs I drive and instruct with. It now has 14,000 miles, almost all of which are track miles at 5000 RPM or more. Other than putting brakes on it after every 4th day and slicks after every 2nd day at the track, the car is bulletproof. No major repairs or other issues. It sits in my garage all winter, comes out in about two weeks from now for an event and never disappoints all Spring and Summer long. Great car, great engine, great reliability.
I also have an '06 Duramax with Allison trans. 56,000 miles now of towing car trailer and boat trailer and it has never had anything other than oil changes and fuel filter changes and its first trans fluid change a few thousand miles ago. Again, great quality and great reliability. My '08 Mercedes AMG has been to the dealer for various minor issues in its first 12,000 miles. Nothing major, but still an annoyance and I always remind them of my Chevrolets' reliability. My only beef with GM is that as a 39 year old guy, other than Chevrolet's trucks and their Vette's, I don't see myself driving anything else that Chevrolet currently makes. I like their Cadillac line, but then again, if I am gonna spend the kind of money it takes to get into a V version of one of the Caddy hot rods, then I might as well just spend the extra and get an AMG as I did. Anyway, my two cents and I am sad to see that GM is in such bad shape right now.
