Default Cmd.....

CMD for those that are curious is Corvette Modification Disorder... and I'm afraid I'm afflicted. As I sit here without my car (soon to be delivered!!) I've come to the realization that I already have 6 boxes in my garage

It is an insidious disorder that comes to light when you find another box on your door step and you can't even remember what it might be or even placing the order!!

And apparently this disorder can manifest in other members of the family.

As my wife and I were on our way to the movies we saw a Z06 in the parking lot of a local dealership, since we had time, we stopped to admire it and while we were there I pointed out the differences from our car (C6 coupe) and the Z. As I pointed out the wider stance with the flared front and rear fenders I mentioned that there were kits you can purchase to approximate that look.. Without out blinking and with a faraway stare she turned to me and said "You need to do that" I turned to her and stared at which she said "WHAT?" I knew right then and there she was afflicted.

Did I mentioned that this disorder can be a good thing

O.k., first and foremost, she's a keeper! Second, she's right. You do need to do that. Now, you should let her know that there are two ways to do this. One is buy the fenders and front fascia along with the wheels and new tires or buy the Z06. I'd say you can't go wrong with either choice. I'm lucky my wife has the disorder as well, it seems that my wife's case is not as advanced as your's however. Either way, enjoy the ride.

Can't really tell you. I don't look at myself in the mirror - best to look straight ahead and hold on tight when stomping on a Procharged car!

The first step is amitting you have a problem, which you have done. the next and most important step is to cure the problem and do every mod you can. Enjoy.
