traded in the Avalanche, and bought a Camaro Convertible.

[old-chevy-dude]

took my 19 year old niece into the Chevy dealer I have bought my last 6 Chevy's from to get her first car, she got a 2011 Malibu 1LT for $16,500 OTD (money she has saved for her first car).

 

While I was there I saw a 2012 Silver 2SS/RS Convertible, I was going to wait for the ZL-1 Convertible, but found out my insurance would more than double, so I stuck with an SS.

 

so this is the Camaro when I brought it home:

 

 

 

 

and after a bit of modding:

 

 

power coated the exhaust tips

 

 

 

 

 

I do miss the Avalanche, but this is what I really wanted all along, so let the mid-life crisis begin..

Ha!Ha! Well at least you're being honest with yourself.

Seriously though, nice car!

[RyanbabZ71]

The modding will never end.

 

I have done an axleback exhaust, CAI, vinyl bowties. I also have a heritage grille to put in and I am thinking about doing the functional mailslot.

yeah, I liked the Avalanche, but I know I bought it because it was a safe bet, after having 6 years of problems with my previous vehicle which was also a first model year vehicle.

here's some you might like:

 

I added map lights:

 

 

 

 

and a center channel tweeter (crossed over from the dash speaker) to correct the sound stage in the front, also redid the rear sub to correctly balance the sound waves with the top down.

 

 

 

and some USB ports (5v 2 amp power only) in the upper console to power radar and dash camera:

[Black02Silverado]

I was talking to the wife the other day about one. Not a good time right now, but maybe in 20yrs I can get a sporty ride. Nice car and great mods!

How tall are you? Have you sat in one? I am 6ft 3 220lbs and I fit fine with plenty of room

[99silveradoz71]

6'6 and about 260. I think I got in, but the in and out would be a challenge in the long run. Of course $ would be the first roadblock, ha.
