  • Took a Test Drive in a '10 RS Today

    During my lunch break today, I got a whim to go by Rypma Chevrolet in Whitehall, MI today. What luck, I followed a semi trailer with a Red, 3 Black, and a Yellow (all V-6 RS's) into the parking lot. I watched as the driver unloaded the red one. Obviously, it draw a crowd from the employees working there. I kind of watched as everyone was in awe. A couple of sales guys got inside the car and were checking things out. One of them noticed me and asked if I would like to sit inside. I told him I had all ready sat in a couple different cars and what I really wanted was to take one for a ride. He told me he was looking forward to a ride too but they had to prep it first. Long story short, he told me if I could come back, I could test drive it today. Man, what a looooooooooooooooooooong fricken afternoon. Anyways, I drove my first 5th Gen today. The V-6 is impressive and the car rides and handles incredibly well. I would definately go V-8 but thats just me. I can't wait to drive a V-8. I may have to re-think about my '08 Impala for a daily driver.

                  Yep Team One's first one was sent up on 4-29 so we should start seeing more and more.

                  Its just too bad they are having problems with the V6 M6 cars

                              I guess I liked it a little too much.
