May the fun begin
As many of you now know, my better half has her own vette now. Well last night we went to a car gathering and met forum members etc. Really nice bunch of people. Blaze one had his car there, along with others that had just come from MTI. We took this chance to hear different exhausts and the vette owners were more than agreeable. You should have seen wifes face! She was all giggles. " OH, ive got to have those pipes", " Ive got to have that supercharger ". On and On. When I told her that mine was first, she said we would work something out. 
All in all it was great to meet and talk to people that care for thier cars like we do. And now, the race is on. Mom, pop corvettes are in for more than just a few parts mods.

Is it fair to others to have 2 Corvettes to play with? 
It sounds like she's been bitten by the mods bug too.
Every forum member I've met in person has become an instant friend. These are some good folks we have here.

I think Spock said it best..."Mods for the two, outweigh the mods for the one"....
Well, it was something like that anyway
We did the "mod phase"....now that we have more than one, we seem to be more in the "maintenance phase" ....

Sounds like you are going to have some serious competition for that mod money.
