Awesome, modding your way across the country. I bet this took a lot of planning. Love the updates and congrats on the new ride.

Chrome wheels is the next mod in Nashville this afternoon.

Will it ever end! GO HOME LIZ!!!

Liz,

Glad you had a great time in NYC! It was fun meeting you and Tracey, and taking the train into the city. Looks like you had a wonderful time, buying your new car, a fun road trip, and meeting your forum buddies along the way!

The best of luck with your new ride; enjoy it in good health!

Billy

Liz,
Thanks! I finally took it for a drive today, after getting the chrome alternator, polished overflow tank, and other "bling" installed

I'll take a bunch of pictures when it's finally done

So, are you home now??? Lol, how many miles on your new baby???

PS: I spoke to "RedZ06Chick" aka Brenda, and told her of your little adventure. PM me when you get the chance

I don't know Liz - but it seems to me that C6 is out numbered by 2 C5's and since this is your "home" C5 General would be the place to hang out! Besides - most of the people over there are a little too "special" for me! Don't go!
