Everyone knows what's in my garage. I don't advertise it, but I also know that someone wanting my Vette will get it, and no locked door is going to stop them.

WHY???? LOL

Contemplated applying a small C6 flag decal to the back glass of my TBSS due to it having the Corvette based LS2. But I could never bring myself to follow through since I personally can't stand any type of auto sticker and always de-badge my vehicles any who.

Always thought it would have been an acceptable mod, but a little counter productive for my persona.

I've never seen it, (c5 logo) but I admit, I am one of those nitwits that will put an HD sticker on my truck.

Did someone put the door windows in wrong or did you want them that low? Looking at the doorways design, wouldn't they look better up one row on top? It would help keep peeking eyes out too.

It's a great looking garage though.
