Default new SS owner in Germany

Hey all,
I put up a thread back in november but had no pics so Ill do it again.
Im an Army black hawk crew chief, and just got here to Germany late november. I used to work as a mechanic at Blairs Speed Shop in Pasadena, CA and a little in the entertainment business before the military. bought this beautiful 2000 SS to bring with me and tear up the autobahn
picked her up for $7500 clean title, M6 110K miles. garaged all its life andthe body is spotless. Drives like a dream. I was thinking about doing the berger panel mod...what do you guys think?
Stop number one....take it around the nurburgring!!!

Its been modded, and its really tastefully done. I think I might be forgetting a few since I dont have the list. All pics were taken on Angeles Crest Highway...the famous HWY 2.

Thanks Ryan,
I see you're a fan of the old pontiacs as well! I wish I could have brought my 1981 turbo ta with a 400/4 speed (that 301T didnt like 16lbs of boost :p), but its not an appropriate car for the conditions here.

I love me some Pontiacs Your better off bringing the newer more efficent powerhouse over there. From what I hear they don't care for such old, crude, wasteful cars like ours over in Europe. We would just pollute their clean air and leave nasty black marks all over there pretty roads
