Finally joined the new caprice club

Post by KKARSTEN »

It was a long time coming, but I finally joined the ppv club. I have been a fan of the Caprice since I had my first, a 93 9C1. That was my favorite car, until I got my 2011 9C3. I test drove a few high mileage police units and liked them, but just couldn't pull the trigger. That went on for a few years, then I found this forum. This lead up to me being on my first day of vacation earlier this month, browsing the classifieds. 9C3 with 21k... hmmm interesting. After a couple quick flights and a not so quick auto shipping experience, I had purchased 56nomad's silver Caprice. He was pleasure to deal with. Love the car. Now I just have to figure out how to restrain myself from from using performance mode all the time... it needs new tires anyways.

In any case, the forum has been a big help in my decision making process on this purchase. Much appreciated.

(Tried to attach a picture, but I'm having tech difficulties. I'll save that for another day)

Yeah, the car is very nice. I almost feel guilty driving it sometimes, but I quickly come to my senses.

I'm in Northwest Indiana (Crownpoint)
