Default Finally got a SS

I seached the classifeds on this site for 2 months looking for a SS but never had any luck. I ended up driving 450 miles to WI to buy my car. Its a 2001 SS black with ebony interior,T-tops 6 speed and only 13,408 miles on it. Now that i have i figured it would be a good idea to become a member here.

Yep, been doing the same thing. Also looking on autotrader, ebay & craigslist. Lots of nice cars in the classifieds here, just couldnt find what I wanted that wasnt out of my price range. I found mine on craigslist & went to G.R Mi to get it which was only 120 miles from me.

You're lucky it took just 2 months. It always seems to take me at least a year to find the exact combination of colors, condition and options.

Sounds like you found an outstanding SS.
