Default when will it stop

I'M NEW TO THE FORUM. I BOUGHT A 01 SILVER COUPE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAD BEEN 22 YEARS SINCE LAST VETTE. WELL I PUT ABOUT 30,000 ON IT AND WAS HAPPY AS A LARK (SMILES, YOU KNOW). THEN I WENT DOWN TO A&A FOR AN OPEN HOUSE. THAT WAS A MISTAKE, I NOW HAVE TURNED INTO A MOD JUNKIE. I JUST REPLACE THE INTAKE, NEW RIMS, AND NOW THINKING ABOUT CAT BACK SYSTEM. MY WIFE LAST NIGHT SAID TO ME WHY? THEN SHE SAID WHY NOT BUY AND C6. GOD SHE'S GREAT! HOWEVER SHE LOOKED AT ME FUNNY WHEN I TOLD SURE LET BUY ONE, AND SHE AGREED TO LET ME KEEP THE 01. I KNOW I'LL STILL BE DOING MODS TO THE 01. HEY I GUESS IT A WIN WIN SITUATION!

Once you get a Corvette, the Corvette modding bug begins to sneak up on you. And, then you are hooked forever. Even in your sleep! Enjoy.

Just when you think you've done your last mod - you'll jump on the Forum and see something that someone else has done - and you gotta have it! If you want to stop modding - put down the keyboard! Run away as fast as you can!
