Found my lost Girl!!
I owned a 2018 camaro SS that i bought brand spacking new. Immediately Started the mods with TSP camswap kit, Headers, Borla exhaust, e85 conversion, rotofab, dyno'ed by vengence racing and bunch other things I'm sure I am missing... All done by yours truely in my garage. Was super proud of this car. She became to me like one of my children that gave new life to. Loved this car. Then covid happened... Became under some financial hardships that forced my hand to let her go. She was a luxary i couldn't afford anymore... Well fortunately i was able to recover fairly quickly and finding a new job wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be (as i basically got super lucky.. could of been worse). However by this point my baby was long gone and of course kicking myself for ever letting her go. So out of no where get email from on star saying check my 2018 camaro tire pressure as the pressure is low. And vin number listed in email. Out of curiosity. I decided to do some investigation work on the vin and see where old girl ended up. Well.. load and behold. No where really. At least not with a new owner to my amazement. She had been sent to auction house to auction house being bought by dealer after dealer. Traveling from GA, NC, TN, and NY. None with actual buyers. So was able to pin down her actual location in NY. And sure enough. Still for sale with local dealer there. Long story short.. Was able to lock down a reasonable deal with him.. And bam!!! old girl coming back home with me still being the original owner! I am so freaking ecstatic. A story for the ages I tell ya!

Wow, what a story to tell! That is unreal that the car hadn’t been sold... I guess it was meant to be. I hope you hold onto her & enjoy for a long time now!
