Aww, shucks, Brent I wasn't going to name any names or anything. And TRUST ME, you're NOT the only one who's done that. Yours was a GOOD example of what I COULD understand...and hey! Sometimes 8's DO look like B's...especially without your glasses, in the dark, in the cold, with the dog bugging you...

I did get your request. I'll get started on it right away.
Heat wave...hmm...I wish! I'm a Cali girl originally, and I'm completely fluxomed by people here in Detroit who actually go OUTSIDE and play in the SNOW... ? Are they NUTS?
Brr...snowy, cold, sleety, etc. here...and I think it's headed your way. I heard NY is supposed to get about another 6".
Originally posted by JennKstep I just wanted to say greetings! to all of the ThirdGenners from Sweden! I must admit I am truly surprised at how many requests I have gotten from Sweden. I didn't realize these vehicles were so popular there!
One note: many of the collectors submitting VINs from Sweden have not been including the entire VIN; there appear to be characters missing from the front part of the VIN. Also, pleae note that I am a girl, not a "sir", so you don't have to address your messages "dear sir"
Thanks so much!
And hey, those guys in the U.S., I do ne ed your mailing addresses. I hate to be a brat, but if I see one more message without a mailing address, I'm just goin' to start deleting the ones without all the info I need. Well, I'll THINK about deleting them. I'm such a softie...
Yes thirdgens are big in Sweden, also im sorry about them calling you sir, thats not very nice.
Scania, I don't think they realized maybe that Jennifer is a girls' name? I'm not offended by it, anyway. "Sir" is at least a respectful title. I've been called a LOT worse.
I still can't believe you are doing this... its great!! I am curious though, I haven't heard anything as to whether or not you found mine. I am just curious, no rush!!! Thanks alot for everything!!

flrtin1 has a point. but I'll let it go just this once. Yes, I did get your request on Jan. 11. If you read the rest of this thread you'll see that it's currently taking about 5 weeks for me to get my hands on the invoices. ONCE I HAVE THE INVOICE, I'll send you an e-mail. I know it would be easier for everyone if I replied to the messages when I receive them to let everyone know I'm working on their requests, but I really, truly don't have the time. Management here at GM has said that if this takes up too much of my time, they'll start charging for the service, and no-one wants that to happen. So please be patient and you'll get your invoice as soon as I can send it. Thanks!
Hi Jenn, I sent in mine today. Just want to tank you for your hard work.
I was waiting a while hoping demand would go down, but I guess that isn't happening.

Tell me about it. With all the ice my car hasn't been out for the last 3 weeks.
Yeah i sent my email to Jenn, and thank her for all her work, well it comes to be that my car was built for export. SO I get no invoice but i guess that's cool. The guy i bought it from still had the German papers, and all the paper work too, so i guess my car is kinda of cool. So i guess my car has been all over the place. The guy told me that my car was on the German Autobahn too. Just thought i would share this with you guys
I sent you a reqest on 31 December regarding my camaro convertible which is now located in Australia as well as a quick note from down under.... Can you confirm that you received it? It was sent from Irocz_Vinnie@hotmail.com
I am looking forward to finding out some more information about my car - info in Australia on GM cars isn't easy to find.

iroczVinnie, read the post, or else you know who lputs on his mask and boots?
LOL Tony, I *love* Captain Obvious, and his cohort, Princess Obvious.
Hey Vinnie, I did get your request, and I'm working on it. It is taking about five weeks to get these back to you, so please be patient. I posted a lengthy message about this very issue yesterday (Tuesday); if you have the time, you may want to check it out.
One more thing...I got a couple of messages this morning from one ThirdGenner asking me why I was e-mailing viruses. I checked my handy GM virus-protection software, and it is working. It is automatically updated about every 2 days by our tech folks at EDS, so I don't think there's any way I could be sending out viruses with my e-mail. There was a lot of weird code in this ThirdGenner's message, so I'm thinking HE'S sending out the virus and doesn't know it. I think his name was Chris. If you're out there, Chris, run Norton or McAfee or something. I'm pretty sure it wasn't me who sent you the virus. Thanks!
Jenn,
Chances are the virus is being sent by someone else who has your name in thier "Friend" list.
Someone opens a Virus e-mail unknowlingly and the virus picks a name from their contact list to e-mail and then attaches another name to it as the sender.
I have gotten e-mails that claim to be from my e-mail address with virus' inside...
I think these kids making these worms and virus' should be taken out and shot, all it does is congest the internet.
Here, here John; I'm with you. I workd at EDS when the Melissa and LoveBug viruses went around and it was a nightmare. GM's address book (everyone has it in their e-mail) has about half a million entries. Can you imagine what a virus could do to our servers? Yeowch.
I find it interesting that these virus' are typically made by kids in highschool who apparently have nothing better to do... I personally think possibly they do not have enough homework, I kind of like what they did to Capitan Crunch... (regarded by some to be the first hacker) he can no longer touch a computer without going to prision...
I was raised in a tiny little suburb near Sacremento called Walnut Grove (not Walnut Creek). It was a dinky little farming community when I lived there.
You guys have some competition now, by the way. Somehow a group of Monte Carlo and another group of Corvette collectors got wind of this invoice service. Welcome, fellas! But now my inbox is extra-full, so please be extra-patient. It's only a matter of time before the Chevette, Cavalier, and Celebrity collectors start clamouring for their invoices, too.
I kind of like what they did to Capitan Crunch... (regarded by some to be the first hacker) he can no longer touch a computer without going to prision...
Ok, I thought it was CC, but there is someone out there who can't touch a computer, I saw this TV show on The Discovery Channel.... Anyway whoever the moron is that is putting oput the virus' should still be shot...
Just got my invoice in the mail today! Thank you, this is sooooo cool!!! I am the second owner of the car, and its really great to finally have some historical records of it. Again, thanks for your hard work, You're the greatest!!!!!
Just got my invoice. The second I saw the GM logo in the corner of the envelope, I was thrilled. It's soo awesome to have a peice of my car's history! Jenn, you are my hero!

"Dearest Jenn,
Please send me the invoice for my 198X Camaro/Firebird. My VIN is: (Insert COMPLETE, CORRECT VIN).
My mailing address is:
F-Body Enthusiast
Street Address
City, State ZIP
Thank you, Jenn! You are a wonderful human being and are an asset to General Motors and the world in general!"
Hey, just thought I'd throw this out there. After doing a lot of reading and checking for patterns comparing shipping weight and curb weight I've noticed that if you add 80lbs to the "shipping weight" then you will get the Curb weight as the car came from the factory.
So my GTA has a shipping weight of 3,389lbs. Adding 80lbs makes for 3,469lbs. Not far off TGO's mark for a GTA curb weight of 3,476lbs.

Originally posted by 91rsowner4life so what is going on with the invoices no ones said anything on here for ever
No clue. I sent Jenn my original request on 1/22/04 and haven't heard or seen anything to date.
I know she was getting ready to have a baby and one of her co-workers was supposedly fielding the requests in her absence. I sent another email to her just the other day with a 'read receipt', which I got back. It was read by her email address, as well as another guy's. So it seems they're being forwarded.
Yeah I haven't gotten anything yet either!! I was hoping to have it by AutoFair the first weekend in April (i e-mailed the middle of Jan.) but I guess thats not going to happen! I guess when she gets back from maternity leave she will start on it again.
