Default All modding on hold

Well, looks like all modding plans for summer is going to be put on hold until we can confirm whether or not my wife is having a 3rd baby. The pregnancy test came out positive today but I guess it was too early to tell because the pink line is faint, blue is dark, so we'll or she'll test it again next week. If it is positive, then I have until September to enjoy my car as I will be selling it or trade for the New Toyota Sequoia. Will probably put it back to stock beforehand. If it's negative then all modding for summer is a go. Not a lot mostly cosmetic stuff since performance mods are a little bit more expensive ( i.e. headers). So I have a week of anticipation.

If you do have the kid, just don't tell them as they're growing up "Daddy had to give up his car for you". My mom always pulls that one on me regarding her old MG.

If you end up having another kid, congratulations! If not, time for some more fun!

congrats either way things go for you . a win win situation

I would not have been able to wait another week to know the results if it was me . if the home test was slightly positive , it would have been time to drive to the doc's office . the tests there are much more accurate .

good luck

Good luck with the test results. I can't think of a better reason to either stop modding or sell the car.

Congrats on you upcoming addition to the family. It's to bad that you have to give up the Vette though.

Trust me---the only thing better than driving your vette is the love of your child---absolutely NOTHING compares to that
