It's good to be back home..... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well after long hiatus, it's good to be back home. 5 years ago I had to sell my 2000 Camaro SS M6 (black on black, chrome wheels) and 2003 daily driver SRT-4 (starting a family, married, house, etc etc), and settle for more "family friendly" vehicles. Over the past 5 years I've been in a deep driving depression.....Suburban and Honda Civic (automatic!)..

This past year I have been looking seriously at the Camaro SS and Ford 5.0.....I could not make a decision. Well last month when GM offered me 4k to buy any GM vehicle I wanted, I couldn't pass on it (2k on GM card, 1k bump, 1k loyalty)........mama got tired of me mowping (sp?) around and gave me the green light!

When I first bought the car, it was much too quiet. I was still use to my old SS......I missed and loved that sound. Thus far I have added a Borla exhaust, CAI, and chrome SS rims. Well, I'm born again......black on black SS M6, chrome wheels.....

Ahhhhhhh it's good to be home

Here's some pics / vids of the old baby (1sweet00SS) and reborn baby (1sweet11SS)...

Welcome back! Nice Camaro(s)

My 2000 Camaro Z28 (black) was one of my favorite cars. And a few years later, after owning some other cars, I ended up with another Camaro again. Go figure!

Welcome back and in black!

cab2g · 02-11-2011, 04:00 PM

welcome back! This is my first Camaro, and I may be just like you one day. I don't know if I'll ever be able to happily drive another "normal" car. I just hope they keep making Camaros so I can enjoy them for years to come!

RubyCamaro · 02-11-2011, 04:53 PM

Glad to hear you got your permagrin back! Welcome aboard & love that car!
