Congrats to all who are getting vin #s I'm still waiting. I'm headed to ask The Viz if he has another update, yesterday I was still at 3400.

Hey Sailfan26 I was happy to see you received your vin. That's awesome! I know we've been going back and forth stressing about these cars so you receiving yours makes me feel good. I hope you're right, I am checking everyday now until I get mine

Hang in there 1BadSS/RS, you aren't alone here, but I know exactly how you feel no words needed.

After all we've been through everyone remember to post some pics. I feel like we have been through a lot together it's crazy. Who knew ordering a car would make me looney tunes?

So, I figure, the car was built Saturday and shipped either Sat or Mon add 9 days = Sep 21, give or take. I don't epect Mon to be truthful but Wed would be resonable.

Your are being very optimistic - but lets all pray for fast shipment and no QC holds. Winter is coming to the east coast so we need some time to enjoy our new toys.

AW SHIT! 3800!

I try to be optimisitc all the time. Otherwise I would never have bought this car!

Roger that on the winter. One of the first things I have to do is buy snow tires. The sticker says "Summer Tires Only" EEEEKS.

I've been driving Camaro's thru the winter all my life, all the way back to my 1975 Camaro. Although my 98SS is not very well behaved in the snow and is banished to the driveway for the winter. Under cover of course.

These cars are absolutely aweful in the winter weather - snow is a nightmare.

If you got a V6 automatic you might be better off. Back when I HAD to drive my 3rd gen Camaros in the snow I used to put on snow tires and put solid concrete blocks in the trunk area to add weight over the rear.

It is not really the driving that I worry about - the road salt is what will destroy these and any other car. Having your other car under a cover may not be the best idea for storage - consider a storage bubble or portable garage solution. The cover will trap moisture under it and this will lead to rust. My 1969 is stored in my garage inside a constant circulation capsule - this helps to ensure there is no build up of moisture.

I remember those days. I used sand bags over the wheel wells. I have to buy snow's for this car. It specifically states on the RS Package the tires are Summer Only. The SS is for sale. Hopefully someone will buy it before the snow falls. It's a beauty too. Hate to part with it but I can't keep 4 vehicles on the road, the insurance is a killer. The 97RS only has 60K miles on it. I'm keeping her for my daughter, living in Manahattan for a year on a Fellowship.

Just to pass some time I decided to show my fellow 9/7 TPW friends my other baby. This is my first time posting a pic. I'm also doing this for practice for when it's time to post pics of my new baby.

NoodlesSS · 09-15-2009, 01:18 PM

Obviously my first time, posted the picture twice

sorry!

sailfan26 · 09-15-2009, 01:26 PM

Now that's pretty!

NoodlesSS · 09-15-2009, 01:32 PM

Thanks Sailfan26, my Chevelle is my true love. I love this car. Wonder if they'll ever come out with something similar ever again.

sailfan26 · 09-15-2009, 01:48 PM

I think the days of the muscle car are in their death throes. Industry looks like it's moving to a more effecient, alternative fuel auto. Won't be long before gas is too expensive for what we (collectively) own. Soon, only collectors and museums will have muscle cars. Until then WE ROCK!!!
