I bought my 98' ss a week before my 16th bday and all I can say is take it real slow for a while like a good 6 months before you start spinning the tires and sliding around turns, even hard accel and some worn out tires can be trouble you will be sideways a lot faster then you could believe. I wouldn't even drive in the rain if at all possible...you will grow into the car and become used to it then have a little fun here and there. I am almost 19 and I still love my SS and yes I have managed to keep it in one piece...knock on wood.

I detailed the car today after school and took some pictures. Not the best lighting conditions but they will do until i take some better ones this weekend.



I did the !molding mod today before I washed it
