Default First Mod performed. Oh-oh.

Well, it's been exactly one week and I've already performed my first mod, if you can call it that. The former owner gifted me with the exhaust plate. Looks great!



And so it begins....

Thanks. We bought this house two years ago this coming April and I had the garage floors epoxy coated before we even moved in, which of course, was the best time! The previous owners were already long gone and were cool about letting me get the work done before escrow closed, so the floor would have a chance to really cure well before we started piling boxes into it. I LOVE my garage floor!! Worth every penny. Just like my 'Vette...

That's the coolest thing about those plates, at night with another car shine the headlights at the a$$ end and the C5 logo will magically appear on the ground.....

Uh-oh is right. It's a very slippery slope. Try not to hurt yourself on the way down.
