Hi!

I recently bought a stock Camaro SS -00. I live in Sweden and Camaro is a really rare car here. I'm not sure but I think they never sold SS at all here. I love the LS1 already (owner for just two days). There is a huge difference to my earlier car, a Mazda Miata -99 I have already learned a lot from this forum. Excuse me if my language is poor.

/Daniel

Welcome to the site daniel.

If you did not say you are from Sweden then I would have never noticed the difference.


Anwho, congrats on the SS!

OK, cars and girls, the essence of life.... I admit my girlfriend is blond and my car is black, isn't that a good combination. Alright we are getting a bit off topic here but I'll have to ask: in Sweden there is a rumour that guys in other countries find swedish girls beautiful. Any comments?

Myself? I find girls from all over to be beautiful.

But, I have to admit there are quite a few Hotties from Sweden.

In Sweden we have the Saab and Volvo, and Koeniggsegg . Saab and Volvo are frontwheeldrive, not for me, and Koeniggsegg are a bit expensive .
No offense but I hadn't expect an american car to be as good as my new SS. It is a lot of car for a little money if you compare to BMW or similair.

First of all, Welcome to the site Daniel. As far as Swedish girls go… I've never seen an ugly one. I can only speak for myself but, when I think of Swedish girls I get a mental picture of Victoria Silvstedt Then again, I am what is commonly referred to as a flaming heterosexual. I love women, period. Especially if they look like Victoria or, even better, Carmen Electra! But, I digress. Congratulations on your purchase. A wise choice. A black Camaro SS and a beautiful, blonde Swedish girlfriend. You may live in Sweden my friend but, you are living the American Dream!
