Another newbie here...picked up my 2019 shadow grey M6 1SS on 2/12. So just over a month ago the new car bug hit me hard. Which is kinda wierd because I had been driving a 05 GTO for 12 years which I loved and have always told everyone I was going to drive that car until the wheels fell off...and I would never buy a brand new car. Well I broke both of my rules at the same time. I had a 97 Z28 before the GTO and have always been a GM guy and for no apparent reason I started looking at newer Camaros on line. I was originally looking at 1-2 year old cars which is what I usually buy but just for the heck of it I went to Chevrolet.com to see what a new SS would cost when optioned the way I would want the car. I found that it was a bit less than I had anticipated and a new one was within reach. Then I found the car I am now driving and it was almost exactly what I would have ordered. I thought I wanted black, my last two cars were black but I saw this car and loved it. So just like that on a whim I put the GTO up for sale and it sold in less than two weeks. Fast forward a month or so and I am loving the car and having fun getting used to driving it. Completely different than the GTO, this car goes around corners. Anyway, I hope to learn a lot from this site and I am looking forward to enjoying this car for many years to come.

Trying to resist the urge to start modding it. Told myself I was going to wait until the warranty expires...we'll see how that works out.

Mike, CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. 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, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends 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!!

Thanks for the nice welcome everyone. Really enjoying this car. I have been driving manual transmission cars my entire life...and I'm pretty old...and got pretty good at blipping the throttle when downshifting so I am still getting used to the car doing it for me but holy crap this car is fun to drive.
