That almost brought a tear to my eye when I read the part of you first seeing the car and your dad being on the porch and then walking down and saying something simple. My dad would have been the same way.
That is awesome for you man. Have fun with her. She's beautiful. Now I must ask you. What is your first mod going to be? |

Wow, I love my parents but surprises were never their thing, (besides a Nintendo64 when they came out), but this is the kind of stuff I will definitely do with my kids, I couldnt imagine a greater feeling than what you described man, even getting a 2010 v6 camaro would have excited you and he got you a brand freaking new decked out 45th SS.
Awesome |

I'm not sure about my first mod. When I was thinking I was getting a 2010 SS I had all sorts of mods planned. Now that I have the 45th, I feel like it's more of a collectors/special edition vehicle and that I shouldn't mess with it too much. I'd like to keep this Camaro for the rest of my life and restore it (if it needs it) many years from now when I get much older. Mods I've considered are ones that are easily reversible: -CAI (not sure which brand to go with) -Window tint -Tail light lens tint Other ideas? Maybe headers? I feel like that might be a bit much for now. I also love the exhaust as is. I don't want to mess with it. It sounds great. Oh and I won't be doing anything rim wise either I don't think. My old man got a 5 year road hazard warranty so I'd rather ride around on the rims knowing a $50 deductible will replace them if I need it. Thanks! Nice mods there on your LT. How are you liking it?

And I'll be more than happy to read about you're '68! I'm always excited to hear others' stories. Thanks for reading mine as well. I know I probably dragged it out and got carried away, haha. Quote:
Thank you so much, I hope to be driving it for a very long time. Thanks, same to you! Quote:
I'm pretty sure that's when I hit the lock button when it was dark outside and they both came on. I was all "ooooohhhhhh" and snapped a pic with my iphone, hahaha. Wish I could run outside and confirm that for you, but I'm a good 200 miles from my lovely camaro. Quote:

Beautiful '98 you have there by the way. Thanks for the kind words everyone. I appreciate the warm welcome! |
