Default Just picked up my new SS

Just picked up my new Impala SS from the local dealer, I bought it sight unseen and undriven. Seems to have decent power to redline, but I have been babying it since it hit my garage. Since I got married 5 years ago I had to dump all of my cars to build a home:1986 Grand National, 1989 L98 Camaro, 1989 Turbo Trans Am(my favorite). This car seems to be faster than the stock GN and L98 Camaro. After I built the house, had a nice garage without a cool car, Mission now accomplished. All here seem to be a very informative group, I read most of the "problems" posts before making my purchase, thanks. Will be in touch, Mike in NEPA.

Enjoy! GN and TTA, man I wish I had those back then, but I was poor and still in school.

that's how I bought my Monte SS back in November 2005 - they weren't out yet around here, so I had ordered mine, and the first time I saw it, sat in it, and drove it was when I went to sign the papers and pick it up...

congrats on the new car man!

Here are some pics. Took me 6 hours to detail the car after coming home from the dealer. Poor detailing for a brand new car, oh well guess you cant have it all.
