[2K16SummitSS]

Made the fortunate mistake of taking my wife with me to trade in the daily driver G6 GXP that I put 230k miles on. The car I went to look at disappointed me in person, so the salesman started talking alternatives. I was talking fuel mileage, possibly a Cruze or a Malibu hybrid. Something good for a 100 mile per day round trip commute. Then, somewhere in the middle of it all, he made the mistake of uttering the word "Camaro".

A little back story: I bought a 2000 Camaro SS in 2007 (see my avatar). My wife LOVED that car. She literally cried when I sold it in 2012.

Fade back to the dealership. He asks if we'd be interested in a V6 Camaro. She laughs at him, apologizes for the outburst, then says "No" with about the most serious look I've seen her have. So then we start talking SS, and she starts getting really excited...and from that point until the numbers worked out and I was signing papers is still a blur in my mind. When they asked about color and options the only stipulations she had were "white and manual". I could see where she was going with it. She even asked (because she honestly didn't know) if there was a T-top option lol. She was looking to get as close to the old car as possible. They didn't have any on the lot, but went for a dealer swap. So we waited through the weekend and took delivery on a Tuesday.

So now I daily drive a 2016 Camaro 1SS in Summit White, and my wife and I couldn't be happier (save for a CEL coming up lately for a rough idle at cold start, but that's what the warranty is for )
