ctrow Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I got back from NJ today and the Black SS was dirty from the rain last week. I can't stand for it to look dirty so I went to the car wash to do some detailing. While I was washing it and detailing, there were several cars/trucks that just drove thru the car wash just checking it out. A couple of skater kids, probably 13 yrs old, came by and complemented on it. Then a older guy that had a 4.6L regular cab stopped and took a look at it. I guess my point is no matter if I'm washing it or just stopping for gas, it's an attention getter. Plus I don't see any other like it. I think that's my favorite part.

BenKey Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Yeah....it does turn some heads. The only bad part about that is it doesn't seem to have quite the same affect on the girls as it does the guys. At least around here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmySS Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Plus I don't see any other like it. I think that's my favorite part. Mine too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlman Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Even though I don't have much street time with mine (as yet!) - this truck is a "head-turner". I think the first thing that gets 'em is the size of teh wheels - - - and then they see the "SS" logos - - - and then they wnat to know what it's all about. A great truck - and a great conversqtion starter. Only problem . . . . . it slows you down gettin' out of the parking lot taslking to all those strangers!

Dale Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I agree the SS does bring alot of attention by young and old. The kids around here really like to ask alot of questions. My neighbors think I crazy ( and their probably right) because I wash it more then I drive it. I got 187 miles on the clock and been washed 5 times!

Lee Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Well, it looks like it's doing some good, Dale. I had to put on my just to look at your sig. I've had mine three months now and my neighbor actually asked me a couple of weeks ago if it was EVER dirty? I looked at him like he was from another planet. "Dirty? Are you feeling all right, Les?" Dust even goes the other way when it gets closed to my baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyboy22 Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I think I have been cursed...It has been raining since the day I bought my truck 2 weeks ago. I mean its on and off..but please. Could I have atleast a week without some rain!.. .This black isn't the easiest to keep clean, but in my opinion looks sinfully bad when it is.

TedG Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I am getting so many comments on how cool this truck is. This is my first black truck/car and I am finally getting the drill down on keeping it pretty. Zaino and a California car duster. My 2001 Silverado was white, and I still kept it spotless, and even in the winter I washed it weekly. IMHO this is by far the best looking truck ever released to the public.

Billy Utah Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 there is nothing nicer looking than a black vehicle. only downside to black is that is shows everything so it's an on going effort to keep it clean. i love black on almost any vehicle. it's one of the few colors that work on everything - porsche to pinto. bright colors like red and blue, on the other hand, don't look good on luxury cars like Mercedes and Lexus.

TimB Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I wash mine about every 3 days. I enjoy washing it almost as much as driving it. That is a sick thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibby22 Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I know that I wash it a lot... But, every three days? How do you find the time???? I mest agree that there is nothing better looking than a freshly washed black SS!!!! Just have to keep it clean. I am about to place my Zano order so BenKey, let me know how it works for you. I know that it works for everyone else. I just cannot wait to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
