Zilch. Mine will be in storage eight miles away and I won't see it for six months. It won't be a happy time.
At least I get to look after its battery.

The nice thing about owning the car only 3 months is that there is more to be done this winter.
First things first....install lift in shop! Then...
Headers, exhaust, intake, catch can, rocking seat fix, new rubber, partition, leds for interior lighting, dock for iphone, power inverter, and maybe door speakers

I think I am going to tackle some maintenence if I can...fluids and such. I would also like to give her the cleaning of her life (I just got it and its 7 years old). Oh yeah, I have some stereo stuff to do (build a box for my sub and amp. Maybe add an amp to the facotry speakers-well maybe new speakers too). I have a Z06 shifter coming soon too.
Okay so I guess I will be doing a few more mods than I thought

I'm putting mine to bed and heading to Florida to enjoy the sunshine.
Not fond of snow and ice anymore.
That's old age for you.

I've got the tunnel plate, CE stripes, LED license plate lights and LED exhaust plate lights to do. I hope to have a couple of these done by the end of next week for the Atlantic City Expressway run (Toys for Tots), I'll post pics of the stripes in a few days.
