And the common comment. Oh. I changed that 11 years ago. It's fine. That's a lifetime with a car/truck now days for the most part. 20 years. Maybe that service should be addressed in a few more years. Not due YET. We expect, and get amazing service out of these 40 to 45 year old GMC's. We as a group travel coast to coast in North America. With GMCMI recently. We've all met in Alabama, Ohio, Oklahoma, Indiana, Arizona. Next. Iowa, and Florida. That's been going on since GMCMI got started in 1982. How many decades ago did you even see any cars, trucks, or motorhome on the road that old. GMCMI as added so much to our lives since 2003. If you have never been to a GMCMI event. Your missing a great part of the GMC life style. Bob and Linda Dunahugh. Member. Greater Midwest Classics, and GMCMI

We keep trying to get new owners to come to the internationals.
This last one in Elkhart was a record for us, we got 7 new owners there and three coaches.
I always try to get time to talk to them specifically about the convention.
The best report yet was from one that said,
"When you were telling me that it was like trying to get a drink from a fire hose,
I thought you were kidding me!!"

I'm working on a couple more for Amana....

That's true Bob. We see that all the time with coaches for sale. You often see things like "new batteries, new hoses and belts, new transmission, etc. Upon review of the records, we find that the belts and hoses were replaced 8 years ago, the tires are actually 6 years old, and the transmission was replaced 6 years ago and has 35,000 miles on it.

It IS new to the seller, and he doesn't even think differently.
