Work on your house?? 
Or your cars....
I will not let this car put me in the poor house so no C5R.. but i have been researching LS1 conversions..
-- I would have bought that damn car on Ebay if it had been for sale.. oh well.
Just finalizing the color.. its between Electron Blue, WRX Blue Pearl and that new vette blue.. I just dont want it too dark..
