Goodbye all...nice to have been here
Scary how quickly three-and-a-half years go by. Seems like I was just picking up my SS with just 28 miles on the odometer. Now as of tomorrow, it's all over.
I had an absolute blast with my SS...it was an incredibly fun car to drive, and on top of that, I didn't have a single issue in almost 53000 miles...about 45000 of which of were accumulated after installation of the GMTU. I had a great time with it, both driving and modding it. Up until now, it was my favorite of all the cars I have owned. Nothing but smiles for me with this one.
Moving on to an Inferno Orange Metallic Camaro ZL1, with my wife's old '07 Ford Escape as a daily driver. Simply didn't have the room to keep four cars (my wife is driving a new Mazda CX-9). And the Escape is simply more practical for what I need, especially with 4WD. I will miss the SS, but the Z is my dream car, and I plan on keeping it for many many years, especially since I won't be putting many miles on it...5-7K per year, if that many.
Anyway, was great fun while it lasted, both the SS and this site. Enjoyed all of immensely.

For 50k I hope it is your dream car, my retired postmaster uncle paid 60k for his classic Cuda and kicks himself in the as* everyday for buying it. I'd say the Z06 is a better bet being it's a bit faster with less horsepower but I see they are over 75k. Love the look of the Camaro in and out, just think the price range is insane. Have fun with it. Don't see much point being you are married but I suppose the power felt in the seat is like an orgasm of all it's own.
Hello and goodbye.

For me, I just love the 5th-gen Camaros...just love the look and have since I first laid eyes on one. Until now it simply wasn't practical or affordable for me to think about owning one, but I now have a two-car garage and a paid-off daily driver in my Escape, so I can keep the Z for perfect days...the Escape will take care of all the crap miles. And I was fortunate to be able to swing the best Camaro available from a performance standpoint...I have no idea how long this will last.
Not sure what me being married has to do with anything. Are only single people allowed to enjoy performance cars?
