Well, after a couple years of not having my camaro, I'm back again and happier than ever. I picked up my new 1SS 1LE yesterday and man this thing is one bad ride. The 1LE is like night and day compared to the 2SS automatic I had previously.

I can't wait for the summer to finally get here.

Black is the sickest color on the 1LE. Looks SO mean.

Just a pain to keep clean. Nice car op.

Thanks everyone. I kept trying to talk myself out of the black because I know how much of a pain it is but I couldn't.

I would agree, I think the hood is the weak point of the refresh. I just feel like it looks kind of cheap. Oh well, I'll either deal with it or change it. At least it's functional, I'm not sure but I don't think the mail slot did much of anything.

how cold is it in OH. those tires should not get below 40.

champ22 · 02-20-2014, 01:33 PM

Right now is 48° and supposed to be 60° this afternoon. We have had a couple of nice days here with the warm front but the cold is on its way back. I asked the dealer about the guy at the dealership about the tires and he said the sidewalls get weak in cold weather but it's only a problem under hard cornering. Please correct me if I am wrong though, I definitely don't want to blow a tire.

JCunningham · 02-20-2014, 01:44 PM

no the tires lose traction below 40 because of the compound. below 20 and they may crack. these tires should be stored inside below 40. there are some threads on here probably in the 1le section on it. check your tires for cracks if the dealer let it sit out side. dealers have no clue on what they sell.
