Lucky kid
Yesterday my son took delivery of a factory ordered 2011 1SS/RS/6M PGFB6K. Besides the excellent deal he got ($100 over invoice), the dealer did not drill holes to mount the front license plate bracket. Very classy for the dealer to think of that.
My son graciously let me drive the car for awhile. Nice tight ride and handling. The blind spots and visibility out are not as bad as I had anticipated. Mirrors and situational awareness is key for survival. Effortless power with economy. I am envious especially since he spent more on this car than his mom and I ever did on any car. Biggest surprise was discovering the location of the battery and the electric "spare tire". Now it's on to reading the owners manual to find out how XM/Onstar/DIC operates. Looks like a week of rain coming for NorCal, regrettably it's going to get dirty right away. Photo in a moment.

Sweet ride. I know I love my 1SS. All the power without all the "frills" I'd never use...and no leather seats to burn my a$$ on hot Florida days. Plus, plenty of room for upgrading the sound system later!

Congratulations to your son on an excellent choice! That's pretty cool that he let you drive it.
My dad (bless his soul) is gone now, but he would have loved my Camaro. I wish he was around so I could take him for a ride.

My dad passed away 5 years ago, worked for GM most of his life..He would have LOVED the Camaro! I sometimes think he had a hand in the way I got mine. It was EXACTLY the car I was looking for, and even though I didn't have the money for the down payment the day I got her, the dealership and I made 'arrangements' to put down the dp later, and I was able to drive her home. |
