Like the title says, I'm unfortunately not a proud SS owner. I have a zero option, high mile '06 LS. 5 speed, so it's at least fun to drive.

Kinda been pondering a newish car for myself, and started thinking about a civic si. Cool car, but I've always been a Chevy man. I own a 73 chevelle, 95 S10 Blazer, 14 Malibu, and of course the Cobalt. Owning a Honda would feel like betrayal.

Then it dawned on me, gm did make a fun to drive compact car! So, hopefully later this year, maybe next year, I'll begin shopping for an 08-10 SS/TC. Until then, I'm just here to lurk, and maybe learn a lil

Bro, go for it .... Good cars are not to hard to find. Even low km 2010s .... And loads more fun than a vdub.

​​​​​​Or you could lnf swap your LS if you had extensive time on your hands 😁

I mean, I got the time, and tools to pull it off. But it's my daily lol. I would be stuck driving my S10 Blazer with 6" lift and 33" super swampers everyday lol. That 12 mpg would start hurting with a 70 mile round trip every day!

whats your budget for an LNF?

Cleburne Red

Are you asking me? Or what a budget for a swap would be?

I am asking for when you go to buy a SS/TC

Cleburne Red

Oh, OK. Not 100% sure yet. Like I say, it won't be for a while yet. Gotta take my wife and kid to Paris for vacation this year, and I would like to put a winch on my off road toy. But when the time comes, hopefully I can get a decent one for $6-8k

Be sure to take your yellow vest with you to Paris

Cleburne Red

Yeah, I've been hearing about all that stuff going on over there. Hopefully it's calmed down by summer when we're planning on going.

I know the wife and kiddo are gonna love it, but I can't help but think that for what this trip is gonna cost me, I could get really close to a nice SS/TC lol. Or, and bunch of cool off road stuff for my blazer

I went through France on the way to Germany for work in 2007, on the lay over you could hear what sounded like 1,000 people chanting in French outside so I got my ass checked into the next flight asap.

Not to nock your choice .... But honestly there are better & cheaper places to visit without the risk of running into rabble that may pose harm towards you for no reason other than not listening to them.

I appreciate the concern, we'll definitely do our research before anything is booked

If you want to look for a decent priced one. Try facebook market, craigslist even offer up. Some are pretty affordable there just make sure you know what to look for
