Took my 2011 in for an oil change…
Drove home in a 2014…..
Didn't have to explain..
The wife said her 2012 was off the table…..LOL

Congratulations, nice buy. I have done the same in the past.

oldfriend · 02-09-2014, 06:16 AM

Just say to her ( when and if she notice it)
Huh , I'm looking for that answer myself , and just can't find one
Can you please help me on this one , I can really use your help on this one babe !
She will be all sweetened up with those words , and she surely give you a helping hand , if not a foot too!!!

I might do the same thing if I find a ragtop in tbe same color......do you all think wifey will notice the difference in models?
I could just tell her I am really handy with a Sawsall and bucket of Bondo

Again, thanks everyone. Thanks super60, you all have built a hell of a car

SSGUNNER · 02-09-2014, 10:01 AM

Haha. Thats awesome.

angryv6 · 02-09-2014, 12:30 PM

I was able to fool her for about 20 mins. The SS emblems, bumper, brakes and wheels gave it away.

Msmall143 · 02-09-2014, 05:22 PM

I would go with "you said it was ok" the other day. Then when she asks when...just say "the other night when you had a few glasses of wine!

TxBandit911 · 02-09-2014, 05:26 PM

I would say something like "I got some new oil from the chevy dealer, it was $40k but came with a free car to put it in"

007s 'Vert · 02-09-2014, 09:09 PM

I showed this thread to wifey today and even my post, she looked at me and says it would be totally cool for me to upgrade, but this time I had better get what I want, she would hate to see me bitch about the car in two to three years because I want something different.
she basically wants me to get it paid off before I get another one, so I figure I may just go get an SS vert, but I gotta keep it within the 508 dollar payment I have now(only trade in stipulation)
She came up with this agreement with me because the car I have now has moved from daily driver to "toy" status, so she actually suggested I get the SS this time seeing as I dont need to be concerned about fuel savings.
so now I have my eyes open for a 1SS M6 Vert preferrably ashen grey/IBM, I will take an RS but really dont have a use for leather seats, or those hideous headlights that blind oncoming traffic.
And please.......nothing newer than a 2013! Anything newer is uglier than a mud fence.......sorry 2014 guys.....just my opinion

Though you may blind your oncoming drivers with your headlights, it SURE AS HECK helps you see a lot better at night with the HIDS. I love mine

And c'mon, the 2014's aren't that bad! I love mine more than all (minus 1) camaros I have seen in person! And If I were you, I would go with AGM.

Those are sexy.

I understand. I felt the same way until I started seeing them more and more in person. I still do prefer the 10-13 Tail lights, but the '14's are not bad. I do like the redesign of the front though.
