So I found an IBM 2SS/RS at a dealership... I can haz upgrade?!

[BowtieBelle]

After a road trip with someone who has a pretty awesome 2SS/RS, I really started to see things differently. He and I stopped by an OKC dealership, and among the two dozen Camaros they had (including a ZL575 ) we spotted a little IBM beauty-- a 2012 2SS/RS. It's gotta be one of the last ones made! After ogling it for some time, it didn't take me long to realize what I was missing-- I mean, it's SUCH a huge difference between the V6 and the V8. Seriously. You just can't even compare the two; the V6 is *so* inferior.

So it took very little prodding from my male companion to get me to sign the paperwork, and I'm now the owner of an AH-MAZING car, instead of my poor old dog turd of a V6. I'm not concerned at all about the huge money I'm losing with all of my mods, or the big hit I took in depreciation on a car less than a year old. Or the fact that my daily commute is 80 miles, and gas prices suck... It's ALL WORTH IT!!!!! Especially since I got SUCH a good deal on the car. It was only $39,550!!! So with tag, tax, etc, it was about $43k. Talk about an AMAZING DEAL-- Of COURSE I paid asking price!

For real though... if someone is looking for an IBM 2SS/RS, Marc Heitz in Norman has one....

I'm just not looking for one.

congrats on your upside-down trade. So long as you're happy and you're broke, it doesn't matter(to me anyway..)

i think someone's nose is growing pinnochio

[vroomapunk]

Savvy business decision, lets see if it pans out.

[BowtieBelle]

This ugly steering wheel is seriously bothering me.

I wonder if I can go trade this back, for my V6. Think I'll get a decent trade?

I do like the SS fascia, but not enough to swap out. I thought about the ZL1 fascia for a minute but then you get the people who say I'm trying to imitate something I'm not, and I don't really want to listen to that. I may matte black vinyl under the lower grille, but I'm pretty happy with the way my car looks as-is.

As far as turbos-- maybe once I have my 50th anniversary Z/28... this car will be my daily driver for some time.

Not sure if you're serious or not. Did you honestly get it or pulling everyone's chain?

What do you think??

[Swacer]

thats why I'm confused. You have been a huge avid supporter of the V6. So I feel you yanking my chain. Tho, I would certainly be one of the first to welcome you to IBM V8 world if you're telling the truth

I'm never trading in my Bella I've got too much into her, and I'm too attached to her. She's like my kid.

I'm saving myself for the 50th Anniversary Z/28 that GM had BETTER produce in 2017.

[strych9]

I guess no congratulations are in order. Therefore, good day to you.

[dkp2LT]

Or has someone started early?

[90503]

This is a real winner...I thought the idea was to stop this sort of thing, instead of "fanning the flames" endlessly.

There's nothing wrong with a joke every once in a while! People are getting way too bent out of shape over this stuff. Simply my attempt to keep it light-hearted around here.

Had you going for a second, though, didn't I?

[90503]

Yeah, but I thought you especially would know more than anybody it will go down-hill eventually!...lol

Oh, I'm sure it will, but in the meantime it's a hoot! Besides, anyone who's seen me around should know better

I hope someone on here snaps up that IBM, though. It's a rare find.

'Belle starts every post as if it were a soap box derby: start at the top, all downhill from there. Laugh at the carnage that ensued.

My kind of girl.

Hey congrats on the new car! Do you remember who you dealt with at the dealership? A good friend of mine owns it. Just curious
