Default SS from Va.

Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I currently live in Bristol Va. ( Live within 10 miles of the Bristol Race Track )

I am a second owner of a Camaro. My first Camaro was a 94' V6. I loved that car to death and babied it till the end .............. I traded. .

I always regreted selling my Camaro and my wife knew how I hated trading it , but I did. One day while coming home from work I happened to look over at the car dealership and saw it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2002 SS

OMG !!!! MY DREAM CAR !!!

A true Camaro lover dreams of one day owning an SS

So I stopped in and to much my surprise it was a PEACH !!!!!!!!!!!! Only 23k on it , one owner , garage kept !!!!!! UNHEARD OF !!!!!!!!!!!! Like finding a needle in a haystack !!!!!!!!

Went to my wife at work told her what I had found , she asked why I was there talking to her and not there getting it home !!!!!!!!

Saw it on Thursday , bought it on Friday !!!!!!!!!!!

Bought it back in Feb 06' - Only have put over 500 miles on it up till now. Garage kept , bring it out on weekends if wheather permits , probably have waxed the car more then I have mowed my yard this year so far. Drive my company car during the week or drive my wifes car.

But seriously I stumbled upon this site and have been surfing through the posts and found your site to be very informative and very friendly user.

That's about it for now , like I said before nice site !!!!!!!! Keep up the good work !!!!!!
