Picked up my new SS today

I traded in my 2005 Vette in 2011 on a brand new BMW 328i and have been sick ever since. On Monday I traded it in and purchased a new SS/RS with 26 miles on it. I originally wanted the black but I decided silver would be easier to take care of (my vette was silver) so I had this car brought in from Corpus Christi. Tomorrow it goes in for clear protection in a few areas and then Tuesday it goes to the shop for black stripes. I am so happy I can't think straight. Anyway, the pics aren't the best but you can get the basic idea.

Why didn't you like the 328? Not enough power?

The 328 just isn't my type of car. I'm 50 and have driven mostly sports cars so the 328 was a major disappointment. The 328 was loaded with the M sport package (not an M sport, just the M sport package) but it was still seriously lacking performance and feel.

Sweet. The silver looks great. Funny, but I had a 2005 Vette also. What tranny did you go with on the new car?

I did the same as you I traded a 335i for my Camaro.My last Camaro was silver also and with the right exterior touches you can make it pop.When I got my BMW it was just a bargaining chip until they released the Camaro.
