I bought my LSx .....truck 8/30 of this year. I traded in my 2000 Mustang GT that I've had since 01. There's no real story to it. I was looking at Evo IXs. They're AWD, make good power, are fun to drive, and have 4 doors. The SS meets all that criteria, plus it has a pimp interior. I kinda stumbled across mine. I got pretty good deal. The dealership lost money on me.
