What you don’t mention is that for these buyers the additional premium is to them what supersizing a McDonald’s meal is to the rest of us. There are a lot of really, really rich people. And that day there was one 1994 Porsche. Like it or not, the market behaved exactly as it should have and the Porsche was worth what…

Coda this car been a contender? Nah. CP all day long

He did say early on he wasn’t covering the Aussie cars, which might give him a pass. As an SS owner i secretly hoped the 14-17 SS would be there, the last production car soldiering on with the now-deprecated LS3.

was a $500 option on the Chevy SS. Full size, on a factory rim, which made it worth getting, because if the rim is even moderately good looking, I’m going to curb it. best to have a backup

I did the full chrome delete, front grill (upper and lower, including fog light trim), side vents, and full windows (interesting to note, the window trim will fit the Pontiac G8 and all four years of the Chevy SS - that’s one place Holden didn’t do any updates). I like the look better. It’s trivial do to the upper…

I got a parking ticket in lower Queen Anne, Seattle, in November, when the meter ran out on my Holden-badged Chevy SS (I’m the near completist: front and back badges, wheel caps, airbag, Holden key, Holden owners manual. I even had a friend mule me Holden seat-covers from Australia so that the seatbacks have the right…

No so. My 2017 Chevy SS is orange. Replaced a Black STI.

My hunch, based on being a worker bee inside of a big company, is that there’s likely someone, a real person, maybe also a parent, who argued on behalf of an otherwise unorthodox approach. In the end big companies are still full of human beings and like many of us might have, saw something personal in this memorial.…

Yup. +1. The wife, she drives the kids in a cx9.

I might. My ‘11 STI will age-out of extended factory warranty next year and I’m slowly tiring of the abominable rattling interior. I’m very seriously looking at an SS (almost drove to Montana over Christmas for a manual but it was gone before i could clear the books and get approval locked with my higher command).…

I moved to Finland in 2004 and was determined to own a car that was built during the Cold War and behind the Iron Curtain. What was left of the Lada stock was already in the “enthusiast” category, with the best being re-exported to Russia and I couldn’t find any attractive Lada 1500s for less than 5000 Euros. There…

My mom owned one until a year ago when she gave it up for a Yaris (she’s 82 and promised to give up driving altogether before leasing the Yaris while all the kids were out of town but that’s another story). It was bought by a guy who has two already. Her car will now be his daily driver and the other two become parts…

And they rust at the mention of salted roads in another state. They've got all the charisma you could want but check under the floorboards and bring a magnet to check for bondo.
