Default Finally got my SS

I always wanted a camaro SS, and I finally got it. The only way I did was it had to be a convertable to make the wife happy and to tell her it is actually hers ( I dont think she really believes that ) But I will keep telling her that if thats all I have to do to keep it. Now I have to find a way to convence her to let me put some LT's, heads and cam on it. Any suggestions?

By the way I'm from West Virginia but living in Maryland. Great site, reminds me of ZR2.com

haha thats funny. Your wife should be happy you invested your money into an SS. As for convincing her to let you mod the car like that, it depends on how easy she is to convince. I'd tell her that if you do these mods, it will make the engine last longer and run better, and also get much better gas mileage . If she is smarter than that, tell her that it has been your dream to drive a modded SS and if she loves you she would let you do it

Congratulations on your new ride. Nice choice on the car. And tell the wife that you HAVE to mod or you have to get rid of it!

The wife is in Florida with the car this week, I guess she did believe me when I told her it was for her. But she is checking on some prices for headers and true duals while she is there. I told her if she can get it all installed for 1000 or under to do it. She has some connections down there. So who knows, hopefully she will be driving it back deaf. LOL
