Here’s my “new to me” 2016 2SS 6M

It had 18,500 on the clock when I got it. Loving it so far!

Bought it like that, but they are vinyl stickers.

Nice looking car…Great pics!

Just as an FYI- Not sure how familiar you are with the platform, but figured I’d pass along a bit of info, just in case you’re not. At 6000 miles, its possible that your car hasn’t had the most recent tranny flush / fluid refill. All 8 speed transmissions with original /old fluid will start to shudder at some point (torque converter slippage). There’s a technical service bulletin out there for this issue. It’s possible GM may still be providing this service for free (warrantee), which you may still have at this point, under 5 year / 60k.

Good to know, thanks!
I'll look into finding the TSB. As of now, the car works perfectly...so may be good to do it before problems occur.

DISPATCH: Dispatch to highway patrol. Dispatch to highway patrol. Be on the lookout for a convertible sports car headed your way at a high rate of speed.

HWY PATROL: Roger that. Can you help me out with a color?

DISPATCH: <silence>

HWY PARTOL: Hellooooo! Color please? Anybody? Bueller?
