New One in Texas

pickwithaustin · 06-08-2014, 07:01 PM

I've posted a few times, but now I'll make introduction. I picked up a 2011 2SS/RS Convertible a few weeks ago from the dealer. I am the second owner (crazy story, don't ask) and have almost a full warranty - first owner bought the car late 2013. It has only 4000 miles on it. From the sound of it, she appears to have the factory performance exhaust (it's quite throaty... and I drove others that didn't have this sound).

I'm going to drop a few thousand dollars into cosmetics, to make her my own, but will pretty much leave the motor be (due to warranty). I've actually done a number of things since these photos were taken... so I'll update when I get a chance.

This is my 5th Camaro - but I've had just about everything (multiple Corvette's, quite a few Firebirds, etc.). I have a few other toys to drive right now as well and by no specific pre-planning, three of my rides are red of similar shades (Vette, Camaro, El Camino). I need to take out all three one day and get a group photo.

Despite these... I generally drive one of our trucks to run errands, etc. (I work out of the home so don't put many vehicle miles on!).

I'll post more photos once I've done some more upgrades. Good to meet you all.

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Hello And welcome to C5
Beautiful new Ride

Thanks for the welcome.
I got some goodies in the mail today - more mods for the car. Both my El Camino and Corvette are in the shop having larger modifications done, so the Camaro's the home garage queen for the moment. I am going to dread having to put her outside eventually (though I have a top of the line cover on it's way).

Nice ride! Welcome to Camaro 5!

pickwithaustin · 06-11-2014, 12:51 PM

Here are the other rides - though I don't drive any of these way often (I work out of the home and don't go anywhere very far or very often... and when I do, I usually use my Blazer or my wife's Silverado). Note that the Vette and the El Camino are red also, like the Camaro... yet I'm not a red fan in particular, it just has seemed to work out that way!

nice looking ride!
