Congratulations. It is a great feeling.


Question: Is the money that you don't spend for the monthly payments going to be put into the modification fund?

nope, hoppin right back in to the pit with both feet!!

Gonna use my daily driver and my girlfriends daily to get a newer crossover vehicle with a car payment because life happens if you know what i mean....

The vette will return back to my DD status till i pickup a cheap 4 banger down the road.


but to answer your question somewhat, i do have an A&A frankestein S/C kit sitting in my closet ready to put on soon so mods aren't totally out of the big picture.

Good for you. I paid mine off two years early last summer. It feels good pocketing that money instead of giving it to the bank.

I had the options of payments on a C6, or paying cash for a C5 w/$ left over. I chose the latter...

I have had car payments since my senior year of high school... i'm 39 now!!
It's amazing how much money you have when you aren't saddled with car payments.

Now you have mod money

CONGRATS Paid mine off in 03, it was a great feeling to not write that huge check every month. Now if I could just get my house paid off in the next two years I may look for a low mileage C6-Z or a C-7.
