What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

[RyanbabZ71]

They offered another 2K, dammit right around where I wanted to be.

What’s wierd is when I traded my Tahoe for this car they gave me exactly what I was trying to sell it for. For the Camaro They kept saying how nice it was then insult me with a lowball price

Don't take it personally, this is how they are trained.  Dealers often make more off of used vehicles then they do selling new ones.

Very nice, James.  I've always loved the K-5s.  Yours is the most beautiful one I have seen.  When I worked for fleet services at the Sheriff's Office, my assigned vehicle was an 89 K-5 that was previously a Patrol vehicle. Had 120,000 miles and ran like a champ.  I also had an 88 K-5 Blazer for a short period of time.   My favorite though are the 91-96 2-Door full sized blazers.  I want to get one.

Is the hood black?

 

 

If you are serious  I would go back and say another 1K and you will sign papers.

Yes 1LE has the hood wrapped in black

I just looked at the camaro website.   That package looks great.   Your picture doesn't do it justice.

 

If I was in your situation I would do it.   Love the look of it and the options.  I would add black bowties and tint windows and have fun with it.

yea there isnt much to do accessory wise .  Tint, clearbra and some mudflaps to keep the rocks off the quarters.

A friend of mine bought one just like that, same color a couple of weeks ago.  He stopped by and it looked and sounded good and I don't normally like blue cars.  Unfortunately I didn't get a ride in it yet because the weather turned cold and it has summer tires.

[RyanbabZ71]

yea strict warnings not to drive below 40 degrees.  Next week when I go pick it up there is a high of 25 (low 5).  Luckily its only a 5 mile ride home.

Whatever could this mean?

 

Are the grip limits that defined on the tires that below 40 is dangerous? I know you've had some fun with your current Camaro when you go out on cold days.

 

If you get a new Camaro does that mean no new truck, or was the reveal all you needed to see? Inquiring minds like to know ;)

[RyanbabZ71]

Nope truck is still in the plan. My timeline for a new truck was the earliest spring of 19. Car should be paid off by then.

Assuming they have the car in a heated area you should have no problems just driving 5 miles.  If stored outside in the cold it would be a different story.  I drove my first Challenger with Goodyear Supercar F1 summer tires a few times at 20F or so and the grip was not much.
