Default New Pony in the Stable!!!

Yes I have AADD Automobile Attention Deficit Disorder. At least that is what my wife is calling it. Here is the new DD I picked up today. 2001 Pewter SS.
17000 miles. All the goodies- Bilstiens, lowering springs, Chrome 10 Spokes with BF Goodrich KDW's, Hurst, Auburn Diff., T-Top. And yes I did look into buying Todds car but they wanted 25000.00 for it so I said fff that. I sure wish he had given us a bit more notice cause I would have bought it from him. Anyway I think I will be very happy with this.

Nice ride, man.. The 6-speed cars definitely are more fun on the road, I have to say that... Can't wait to see it.

Congrats..........I'd love to add an LS1 Camaro SS to my garage as a daily driver and leave the Vette as my project car. Got to much money wrapped up in the vette to do that right now. Again, congrats and hope you enjoy it.

Congrats Doug. I wish I could see it in the pictures though. I have a 19 inch monitor and still have to use a magnifying glass.

Sorry about the small, dark Pic's. I will try to get some better ones posted later today. I'm not sure this was such a good idea. My daughter thinks this on looks better than the "99". So much for handing down good taste in the gene pool.

I hate to say it but the rack is wrong. This one is sharp, but you can't touch your blue SS with the LS1 badge and hockey sticks.

A 2001 Pewter SS was actually the car I went to test drive when I ended up buying my Z28... loved the color (it's probably my second favorite next to SOM), just didn't love the $30k price tag compared to $24k for my Z28.
