And this is because of why? A bunch of you guys probably had to complain about there not being parts for the truck/car. How about addressing some of the problems I listed with them? Is it not true that there are owners of the SSR waiting months and months for door handle parts? What about body panels?

So I think I am not only keeping up but am a little ahead of the game.

And would you please tell us all what vehicle out there has ZERO problems. Obviously you cannot since there has never been anything made that does not have its problems. Fortunately for the SSR owner there is a SSRFanatc website where ownsers can go to discuss problems and find solutions.

Isn't this the same website where if you say anythign against the SSR or GM you get bashed.. I have been there and saw this for myself... As far as vehicles being trouble free..there arn't any, but for a vehicle in the price range of this one they could have at least done some quality control.

What about them cutting and welding a trailblazer frame together to make that thing?

Feel free to hold your breath on this one. In time the SSR's value will climb, but ROME was not built in a day.

So it is like buying stock maybe it will go up maybe it will go down? There are dealers buying used 05 SSR'S for under $20k...LOL and these things sticker for almost $50k....

Well ya got me on that one, and your point..? Even the original paint of the Aqua Blur, was somethign spectacular. I just chose to spend a little extra and get a patriotic blend. I guarantee, the SSR owners get more bobbing heads and thumbs up from people then you ever got on your Turbo Beetle.

The aqua blur was nothing special either. Ford did a paint scheme like this on the mustang a few years ago before the SSR and it to changed colors... So please do not say that aqua blur was a special deal..

And as far as seeing people give me thumbs up or nod there head..Ii am not a poser nor do iI need someone else to tell me my car is cool.. Beside's you SSR guys would not have to much of a chance to even stay within a couple car lengths of me to give the thumbs up or down. But I will say this.. My little 74 beetle is worth almost 3 times what it was in 74 and is still climbing..This is a trend that the SSR is not keeping up with.

Personally for me, I like the Prowler, but I am 6' 5". Besides having a truely classic look, the SSR is something I can fit in comfortably. While I like the Prowler, it is desgned for the vertically challenged, while the SSR is not

Classic look? It does not know if it is a 50 chevy, a 75 elcamino or a week attempt at a corvette...

Enjoy the truck/car but please do not try and make this thing into something it isn't...
