Default Merry Christmas to me!

Just wanted to stop in and say hello. Just picked up my new 02 SS yesterday and am very happy with it. This car is the shitz...The car is in mint condition with 70K on it. Took it out for a nice looong ride and was really impressed. Now I have two of the four Camaro's I have always wanted.

Still looking for a 67 or 69 and a 70 1/2 split bumper and my collection will be complete. I have had 5 camaro Z28's in the past year (84,85,94,95,02). This will be my pleasure ride so I can take the 85 off the road and work on getting it track ready to run 10's..Merry Christmas everyone!! WOOT!

Well I did some research and I am not sure I do. I have the 35th ann badge in the car but no striping outside. This is new to me. I will check on it.

LOL...I need to have that looked at by a professional. Don't like it that way at all. The system cost 4K and you would think the guy who installed it could at least make it look pretty. One of my projects this year. I also need another cap...

Yuh....I believe all the special ann cars were red. Could be wrong though. However, I still love my car. It is by far the nicest Camaro I have owned thus far.

Every 2002 is an anniversary car, the red is the Limited Edition.

Good for you, I also just picked up my 2000M6 Red with only 31,000miles on her, now I have to keep all those non licensed 80 year old men away from it, and I'll be good to go. I'll miss my 98black SS but I'm just glad to own another one of these cars.

Sure it' s nice, I' m not knocking it in anyway. One benefit to it not being the limited edition model, is you' ll have less reasons NOT to drive it. A lot of people that have those models (of any year) never drive them. It' s very sad!

I love this system. It kicks *** big time. The drawback is no ttops in the back as you mentioned. I will look into fixing all that soon. Thanks for all the comments guys.
