Took delivery of my 08 SS today.

Hi everyone!

I just took delivery of my new SS today to replace my 04 Impala SS(also sold my 00 Z-71 Tahoe) and it is better than I ever expected.
I did have a few issues with the vehicle from the get go specifically, it did not have some of the options I ordered and had some that I did not. Whatever, I am just glad it arrived.

Ordered XM- No XM
Ordered 7 speaker premium sound-Not on car
Ordered smoke double stripes- No stripes

Did not order performance seat-has performance seat
did not order smokers package- has smokers package

the price went down several hundred dollars because of this, so I guess I could stripe it and add one kick butt set of speakers for the savings.

I also got the paint protection, fabric protection, sound proofing, and rust protection for next to nothing, as well as the extended b2b warranty.

My Mom is a contractor for GM so I got employee pricing and the timing was right for the 0% for 72 which btw has been extended til the 7th.

I have only put on like 15 miles so far, so I will have to put a few hundred miles on her before I can decide if I like it or love it.

My son named her Noodle-5 and we laughed so hard we decided to keep the name.

Once the weather clears up I will post some pics.

Noodle-5? That is hilarious! What brought that on? 5spd?

So, what color is she? That is strange about all the mix-up in ordered options...

Welcome to the site, and good luck with your new SS!

Welcome to the site, and good luck with your new SS!
My son is only five, but is quite bright for his age. He carries around a toy lap-top computer with him sometimes. When we told him we were getting a new car he told me, I will look up the web site. While tapping on the keys with a very serious look on his face he told me it has 3084 and is called a Noodle-5. The combination of the serious look and all just struck us as really funny. I guess it does fit with the fact that it is a 5-speed.


Noodle-5 is Black with Ebony interior.

And yes I will concur that it is very strange that there was so many mix ups with the car. I was promised a full explaination from the dealer if they are able to get one from GM.

And thanks to everyone on here for the warm welcome.
