How She Look???
Just gave her a bath yesterday. How does she look? Not a drop of wax on her, except for a coat of Zaino's Z2 last year and one coat the year before that. Nothing besides that.

Thanks!!!!
Thanks for all the cool replies!!! Car is 100% percent stock and is not my daily driver. My daily driver is a 2001 Monte Carlo SS. This car is ALWAYS garaged and never sees a drop a water unless she's getting a bath. I ordered her in March of '99 and got her in June of '99. I would like to do some mods, but when I have brought it to car shows, people tell me to leave as is and not to mess with it. PLUS, living in New England, the laws here SUCK!!! I would LOVE to do maybe a stroker engine, long tube headers and so forth but, emissions controls keep you locked in to what you can do here. Again, thanks for the comments!!

Looks great - I'm starting to like red camaros more and more. I still think my top preference would be for SOM, but I do like the winter-friendly silver one I have.

It doesn't suprise me that people at shows say don't modify it. A lot of those car show people buy an old rusted POS and "restore" it to a shiny POS. Let's face it, old cars, in factory trim, suck in the performance dept. I'm 23 and I've never kept one of my cars stock so when I'm older, I'm definitely not going to get an old car and make it stock to remind me of how crappy it was compared to my 2032 6000Hp hovercar!
I think your SS is a perfect platform for an awesome car. I love the orange. Unless you're gonna vacuum seal and store it for 100 years, I dont' think it's an investment or anything.
Furthermore, when you role into the show with your (very nice) and clean STOCK SS, people are like wow nice clean car.
When you role in lowered with 11" wide rims, a cam, headers, and full exhaust, or the whistle of a supercharger, REAL enthusiasts pop wood and women and children run for their lives!!
EDIT: I just want to add that I do think that older cars that are modified with performance in mind are SWEEET. (Especially vette suspension and LS1 retrofits.)
