Why I hate the Corvette Forum
Why I hate the Corvette Forum… 
It all starts off so innocently. You join because you get “the taste” of owning your new Vette and the messages to your post goes like this… “Welcome, glad to have ya, Ask a lot of questions, post those pictures, Make sure you wave” and then that one post that starts the spiral into Hell… “Let the Mods begin”. Of course you say “I think I will leave it stock... don’t want to hurt the resale… but you soon come to realize, you will never sell the Vette and the Mods start. That is bad enough... Mods to the exterior, Mods to the engine, dress up Mods to the engine compartment but then someone who obviously is an Agent from Hell post a picture of their Garage… Nice Corvette hangings on the walls, brightly colored walls, race deck on the floor and that beast of a Vette sitting so proudly on display… They go on and on about what they did and how they painted the walls and installed the Race Deck flooring making the reader wonder, “what would my garage look like if I was to “install a few Mods?”
Mods, it is like a crack habit. Once you get a taste, you can never get enough from that point forward.
Yes I spent my weekend starting my garage Mods… Pictures will follow soon.
The plan is the following: Corvette (millennium yellow on the left wall, bright white rear wall and torch red right wall. Black and white checker flag Race Deck flooring with Gloss black 1x2 custom welded shelves and work benches.
Man I hate this Forum…. “Be sure to wave”, “Glad all of y’all are here”, “Ask a lot of Questions”, “Post those pictures” It will never end

Sounds like you've got mod fever very badly. I've resisted messing with the garage . . . . . . .
for now

I too am resisting the mods on the car (not too successful) but not resisiting the garage mods. I am tired of a cluttered garage. I have the 3rd garage fixed, will work on the 2 car part this spring.

While some may curse mods I embrace them fully. After sitting in front of a computer for 10+ hours a day and having do deal with people from all around the world, there is nothing I look forward to more than coming home and tinkering on my car.
