It's the same picture.

OBM is a one-year-only color, and with the low miles it will bring good money when it's time to sell.

I was like "What is 3 Baby 9?"

My call sign

Goddamn it, the more I think about it, the more I want to get vanity plate 3BABY9. Thanks, quasiMOFO.

When AW saw the plate for the first time, with no knowledge of this thread, she said "What's 3 baby 9 mean?"

Dying. Absolutely dying.

I've been trying to figure out how to make 8ABY or BABY equate to the number 6 for a day now. Because " three six nine, damn she fine"

B is 2nd letter of alphabet, so B=2

A is 1st, so A=1

Y is 2nd to last, so Y=26-25=1

B+A+B+Y=6

Burnout video or you should have just bought an impala.

It'll just wheel hop and kill the clutch then Angry will lunch an axle and go deep down the upgrade while repairing  rabbit hole of 9" conversion, Stage 53 cam and 2.9L whipple. He'll spin wildly out of control in a power hungry rage only to hit rock bottom and wish he had just kept it completely stock and never let the salt touch it. 

In reply to RacetruckRon :

I'm in for the ride!  It's not my money!

I like it (your photos?) but what is it? I'd never seen one I think.

I wonder if those light weight magnesium Vette wheels fit it?

I'm pretty sure a 17" will not clear the front brake caliper. OE is 19".

The SS was a rebadged Holden Commodore, imported from Australia from 2014-2017.

In reply to AngryCorvair (Forum Supporter) :

Talked to the owner of this rebadged SS at Autocross this weekend. Congrats on the new purchase.  

That thing looks sweet.

Damn you. That thread you posted last week or whatever made me look at them closer. I bought one too.

It's a little out of budget

Oh boy...  sometimes I'm slow.

I thought ssheila was just a female name that started with "s".

I totally forgot it an Australian term for a woman.

I'm clever like that

In the fly and drive thread, a question was posed:

zero cross-shopping. I drove my buddy Jay's 2016 manual SS many years ago and never forgot. i didn't need a car, as I was quite happy with Sabine the E92. I always said as soon as the Childo Money Train pulled in, I was gonna get a manual SS.

as for my impressions of the car, OMG I love it.

negatives: I'd like the seat coolers to get cooler. And I need to black out the chrome around the dash vents.

positives: everything else.

then there was another question:

Yep, but it's a special malibu.

PO gave me the window sticker:
