I have had my convertible for about 10 months now and I love it! It is the first convertible that I have owned. This is my 5th Camaro including a 2010 coupe, had a 1979 Trans AM in there too. Most fun car I have ever owned by far! I also went with the manual this time and love it! Our winter has been excellent so far in Central Illinois until today. Come on warm weather!

Nice! We sound toooo much alike! This is my first convertible and my 5th Camaro. I have had a '92, '97, '98, '02, and now the '12! I have only had it for about 2 weeks, but man is it fun! Mine is also a manual, but all except the '92 was manual before her. Continue to enjoy it and "Drive it like you stole it!"

Only 9+ weeks until spring. I can stand almost anything for 9 weeks, even Basic Training. But not the ex-girlfriend!

So YOU'RE the one that kept me from being unique around town?...I've had mine here in Jacksonville for 2 months now.....I USED to be the only 45th vert here....thanks a lot pal!

I had the top down today on the bypass - 59 degrees & lovin it! only had the heated seats on...I'd have had the top down if it was another 10 degrees colder too!

First Camaro, Second Vert.

After owning my 07 Solstice GXP, I decided I don't want to go without a convertible. As I have explained before, having power is nice, but you only use it about 10% of the time once you get used to it... Living in MN, I still have the top down about 40% of the time

I just picked up my 2SS vert yesterday. Can't wait until spring!!!!

Who says there are no optimistic threads in the vert.
Driving a camaro with the top down is absolutely the best

even on a cold day like today !

ctinatx · 01-14-2012, 05:31 PM

Today was a perfect top down day... a nice cool 65 and not a cloud in the sky.

This must be a trend this is also my 5th camaro, sold my 2010 ss hardtop, bought a dodge diesel then missed my 5th gen now I got me a drop top 2ss RS, my first convertible and I love it

Too funny. If it is any consilation, I started working with the dealer in June on this car. He was just not the best out there and caused a few unwanted delays. So, I should have been the first in Jacksonville!

Well worth the wait and was lucky enough to get a 1st Place in the 2000 and newer division at the car show in Richlands this past weekend! Congrats on your 45th Vert as well! They are awesome!!!
