Reminder
I've been thinking that it might be time to sell the car and put the money towards retirement. Today I took the car to a muffler shop to get some help aligning the tips. As I was watching the mechanic drive it in, I realized what an absolute gorgeous car of is ( 03 Z that I'be done over $10k in mods to). And the sound is so sweet with the LG headers and GHL Magnums. Just that minute in time made me realize there's just no dayum way I could EVER get rid of it!! Phew, glad that happened!!!

I bought mine before retirement so I could enjoy it while I could still drive it. Of course, not to imply my retired 'vette brethern can't enjoy driving their cars, just wanted mine while my left knee (surgery) could still engage a clutch.

About retirement age it takes a little more to get the ole heart racing. My corvette does that nicely so I look at it as a health aid and rank it right up there with my blood pressure and arthritis pills t0 maintain good health

I bought mine to enjoy not only now, but also when I retire. Best of both worlds.

Put gears and a high stall converter and it'll change your mind.
