If it ever does stop, just get some interior leather goodies from

Right after you stop sneaking a peek in the garage before going to bed! Don't fight it, go with it!

Thats right. At this point you'd have to have your smile surgically removed.

Had mine 5 months and I still can't believe I own my dream car.
Smiling from ear to ear and I think it is because I didn't listen to my mom when she told me, "You don't stop making that face, it is going to stay that way." She was right when it comes to my vette.
H-LL, I put it on my cell phone voice mail, " Hi this is blah, blah, blah the owner of a CORVETTE!"
