White Jacksonville, FLbr By Ron Wolfbr strongFun 'n Speed in a '96 Camaro SS.strong Life is a series of choices and when Kenny White decided it was time for a new car, his first choice was a Camaro. The styling and of Camaros always impressed him, even when his high school buddies were enthralled with Mustangs. a href"http:blog.rickscamaros.comwp-contentrickscamarosuploads201503DSC1026.jpg"img class"alignnone size-full wp-image-1817" src"http:blog.rickscamaros.comwp-contentrickscamarosuploads201503DSC1026.jpg" alt"DSC1026" "600" height"535" abr In January 1996, Kenny turned his car choice into reality by an order for a new Camaro at Jerry Hamm Chevrolet in Jacksonville, Florida. He satisfied the fun of his car by ordering all available appearance options while the half of the fun and speed equation was supplied in abundance with the SS The sales rep at the dealership said his car would be delivered in about a month, so Kenny was ecstatic! a href"http:blog.rickscamaros.comwp-contentrickscamarosuploads201503DSC1017.jpg"img class"alignnone size-full wp-image-1819" src"http:blog.rickscamaros.comwp-contentrickscamarosuploads201503DSC1017.jpg" alt"DSC1017" "450" height"299" abr For Kenny, the next 30 days seemed like an eternity.
