''Note: This is not about the Impala from that show Supernatural, i.e. what all the basic and fake girls say is their favorite car, even they don't know how a car functions. Hell, they might not even know what the Chevy logo looks like.''

The Impala. The name has been applied to full size luxury cars of the 50s, muscle cars of the 60s, and shady sports sedans for gangbangers of the 90s.

In 1999, however, the image of the Impala was changed from a sporty luxury car (I will obviously be ignoring the generations of the 70s and 80s BTW.) to a practical family sedan: Roomy trunk, good interior space, and somewhat aggressive yet passive styling, and a V6 coupled with an automatic trans delivering around 200 horsepower to the front wheels.

But they kept the SS badge on some of these 1999-2004 Impalas. Why? Because superchargers are cool. This generation of Impala SS is still a V6 (A 3.8L, however, so it's bigger than the other ones), and it's still front wheel drive.

And I'm pleased to announce that I'm now the owner of one of these Impalas; a 2004. The same year Counter Strike Source came out. Also the same year Green Day released American Idiot, then sadly disappeared from the face of the earth forever.

Specs available if anyone wants them.

Thank you for the attention. It's a milestone. I want this car to last me until I move out in 6 years. Maybe longer. Maybe I'll upload a video showing you the sounds it can make as well.
