Chevy SSR
 

A friend of mine stopped over the other day.... I love his truck and couldn't help but to snap a few pics. He's had it for two years and only has 200 miles on it. I'd like to make a poster of these for him sometime...

I'd lynch myself before I owned one of those. Chevy's fatal attempt at reviving the El Camino heritage...

That car was designed by my neighbor, a really good freind of mine, also a former editor for the magazine Autoweek

Lol.... well I love the look of it! (Sorry DJ!) Peter - Tell your neighbor that I said :thumbup:

Me likey those and always have. They are very pleasing to the eye.

agreed....I love the SSR

Will do, I'm seeing him in early January for the Charity Preview of the autoshow, haha.

Unique, yes; in EVERY way possible. :? :roll:

But what's the point? A Convertible RWD vehicle designed as a truck but can't haul anything like a truck. Kinda just has a huge trunk... :?

It's just a toy... a possession... a cool cruising vehicle. Who would want to haul anything in it anyways? it's too nice to be put to work. Sometimes, things don't have to have a meaningful purpose. :lol:

quite true....

I kinda wonder why I hang on to my bonnie after dumping as much $ into it as I have :roll:

to each their own I guess, but every time I see one of those, I throw up a little in the back of my mouth. This time is no exception.

It had a lot of potential as a concept, the El Camino was such a cool car, and still is, and as was said, this attempt at bringing it back was awful.

I have to agree w/the people who disagree on the SSR ;) Looks kinda like a new Beetle on steroids w/a truck bed!!! :lol: I guess if the stance were a little better and a little lower it wouldn't be too bad. I think the wheelwells could have been rounded off a bit better and the tire size(not rim size) could have been a bit smaller w/a lower stance.....JMO ;)

i too throw up in my mouth a bit when i see them

it disgusts me even more that someone can have a car for 2 years and only put 200 miles on it... what a freakin waste!

Prolly because it was your Grandpa's :idea2:


BTW..................

Nice cruser

Somebody buy me a SSR, plez?

do you know if it was a 6-speed? those are pretty rare, but its probably safe to drive it more because i dont see the SSR gaining any collector value...

Lol... I think it's great that someone can OWN something just for the sake of owning it. It will be worth money someday (so he hopes) by keeping it new/mint/not used. He wants to pass it on to his son...he views it as an investment, not a car because of the limited production.

I do have a hard time relating (however I don't throw up over it) because I've never had "disposable" money where I could buy something that had no purpose whatsoever. So I just accept situations for what they are for other people, as unrealistic as it may be to me.

I can't remember if it was a standard or automatic... I rode in it once last year and was busy playing with the buttons and checking out the interior features. :roll:

Cool to look at but I would never buy one! Hey GM the Prowler failed why did you think this one would not?

It Reminds me of a Suppository gone wrong.... (although 90% of GM's new vehicles are disgusting)
