New addition to my Camaro Fleet

We live in Oregon and are on a 6 week roadtrip. While in Florida we bought this 2023 2SS that has the upgraded forged rims and only 11K miles.

This puts us at 3 Camaros again:
1973 6.2L LS3, 6 speed manual
2011 2SSRS convertible 6 speed manual
2023 2SS convertible 10 speed auto

Nice addition! People normally go on vacation and bring back beach sand or Mickey from Florida, but you go and bring back a beautiful blue Camaro!
Your driving season in Oregon must be like mine in Michigan

We also have a 2000 WS6 Trans Am and have owned a few Camaros of all generations. The 2023 2SS convertible is the most refined of them all, quickest stock, most comfortable, quietest inside and gets the best mpg of all the Camaros I owned. As for driving pleasure that would depend what mood I'm in. I love all my "kids"😁

Hello fellow Oregonian! Is your username a reference to the Monte Carlo?

I the 1970-72 Monte. I only owned a '75, which I feel is one of the cleanest body designs of the era, especially the way that the turn signals are integrated into the body. I still regret letting it go.

Where in Oregon are you? I'm in the Eugene area.

I've been riding on 2 wheels for 50+ years and had several at one time. Down to one at the moment while I focus on building my 73 Camaro.
These were all ours many years ago. Sold the Raider last year.
