Default Whats up !!

Hello all, just wanted to say whats up to everyone. I recently purchased a 2002 SOM SS with 3400 miles on it. Ive been waiting since I was 16 years old to get a V8 Camaro and I finally got one. Im almost 25 now. I had a 91 RS V6 when I was 16 and kept it till I was 22. I loved that car. Now I have have a 95 V6 as a dialy driver and my new baby for nice days. This thing really moves. I've already put 200 miles on it this week, I have to slow down I would like to keep the mileage low. Ive been surfing the forums for about 3 weeks now, but figured Id wait till I got the car to sign up. There's lots of good info on this board, I look forward to learning more and talking with other fbody enthusiasts.
Later,
Mike

Default Heres a few pics

Heres a few pics for you guys, and girls



How do I make the pics smaller
yeah mr2002, The guy who owned it before me just took it to shows and garaged it the rest of the time. It took me over 3 months to find a car in this condition and I had to buy it from 1/2 way across the US without even seeing it, but thankfully the car is just as beautiful as described.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did an '02 with that low of miles cost you. Congrats and enjoy.

99blackbird, I paid 24k plus shipping, It was more than I was originally going to spend and actually a little more than the car is worth in the book, but I got exactly what I wanted, so for me it was worth it. Originally I was going to get a 98 z, then I found out the engine blocks in the 2000 and up were a little better, so if I had to go up to 2000, might as well get the last one (02), and if its going to be an 02 might as well be an ss And from the beginning it had to be a low mileage car. I never thought I would find one with mileage as low as this, and as a bonus its som. So as you can see, it turned into a snowball effect and got more expensive everytime, but I have absolutely no regrets and I love the car so for me I made the right decision.

Im from Connecticut, just below you. I actually went to Mass twice to look at a few different cars. Only one of them was nice but the guy wouldnt budge on price and the car needed a few things.

Later,
Mike
