Default 4 Years of waiting :)

I waited 4 years (since beginning of freshman year) for the perfect f-body to show up at my door. I finally got a 2001 Camaro SS (all factory options) with only 38k miles for 11,500 he even threw in 4 brand new tires and 17" chrome wheels with it for free. It had been in his garage since last august and the check engine light wont go out but I gotta say... that little red rocket will RUNNNN... you guys definetly weren't exaggerating about the ls1 m6... big step up from a 3.4L 94' camaro a4 :X pictures tomorrow... gotta wash the dust off of it cause it wont blow off.

Default Love the wheels...

I like the look of most stock chrome F-body wheels, especially the ones you have. Looks good!

Thank you. And i found out the SES light is actually an Engine Miss-fire possibly from this thing sitting in a garage most it's life... The gears were very hard to manuver into. It's barely broke in... Perfect DD for college.



Edit: Engine and Interior pics to come when weather is nice out.. supposed to rain for a week though. :/ definetly having a hard time armor-alling my front and hatch window..

It's impossible to keep her as clean as the previous owner... but mud flaps will be put on it to protect the amazing paint job as will the windows being untinted (ohio laws :/) and a front license plate bracket (accepting ideas dont want to hide the SS grille) [also ohio laws...bastards] so far im managing 26 MPG my first week of stick shift. my old 3.4L will be sold at the end of the week. Camaros are easy to sell now that winter has past.. she will be missed but not forgotten. If I remember ill upload a Motor and interior picture to tease you guys. He really did a good job of fixing it up before he sold it. Thanks for all the positive feedback. I'll wax her every month and pump premium every week. But I'll take care of her.. everyday

I've never been pulled over for window tint or no front plate on any of my cars.
