2SS?


Ryan B.

Yup. Magna ride, dual mode exhaust, lit door sill plates. I don't have change for the tolls on my way home so I'm trying to figure that out now. Because I'm already on the toll road when I remembered

[RyanbabZ71]

You mean mag ride or magnetic ride?

So oil life shows 43% at 225 miles.....

I'm kinda surprised at the people checking it out. There are plenty on the road. I wish there was a "be able to see outside of the car" option. But blind spot monitoring works well enough.

 

Options:

MRC

8 speed auto

DMPE

My link w/nav (no point with android auto/car play. And it sucks)

Yellow(why does it cost extra to look like big birds' coffin?)

Black wheels

Black Bowties

Decklid Blackout

Hyper blue is a $395option as well

Yeah but it's got a flake and maybe a pearlish clear. 

 

Yellow is just bright yellow.

 

Anyway, if anyone can find a yellow model(due cast) 6th gen  SS without black stripes I would greatly appreciate it. I can black the wheels myself if I have to, but all I have seen so far is ones with stripes.

I just replicated mine on Forza Horizon 3, so my boys can drive it whenever they want. Forza 7 hid the SS behind a monthly challenge last year, which I missed.

 

One of the twins, who loves bumblebee, has claimed it as his own(and he is serious about it.) He wanted a "bumblebee car", we actually "have one", so obviously It's his.  He was getting angry that its not his when he can start driving for real in a decade or so

Ryan, get ready: 

 

I noticed on a bunch of the ones we looked at the red camaro lettering were coming off the engine cover(looks like it's a three piece part) I took a very close look at mine just now and noticed the red paint bubbling on an A. I touched it and it came right off. It's like the "wet to apply" decals for model cars/planes etc. 

 

Guess it's getting an early warranty claim.

I wouldnt mind if the red peeled off.

[SnakeEyeSS]

 

And you really don't want to know how many people in parts/service don't know what engine cover is and how paint could peel. One parts guy told me they aren't a body shop. 

 

We're all gonna die. 

 

If they let me keep the old one I will attempt to paint it yellow. Scheduled an appointment online for next week with a very detailed description. Just hope the roads are dry so I don't have to reschedule. Cleaned all the trunk, hood and door jams. 

 

I already know where these cars will rust, below the trunk hinges. It isnt entirely sloped, water can pool there.

I saved a bundle by switching to Geico. 

 

My current auto ins was going to raise 100 because of the camaro. Switching to Geico? $16.

100 over what period? Mine went up about $20 a month 2012vs2018
