I am sorry rt.... been real, real busy... I am officialy getting out of the ls1 world at the end of this month, I should recieve my new 07 lmb coupe, 3lt, 6spd, z-51, chrome wheels, red/black interior, painted top..... all options except for glass top and navigation! I cant wait, and my c5 is up for sale with or without the stock pile of parts. Within the next two months my car should be taking the trip back to the north, to East Coast Supercharging, for their c6 novi 1500 kit, ar headers, cartek clutch, ecs meth kit, hardened output shafts, corsa sports exhaust, and a dte diff brace.... I cant wait another minute.... I think that i am going to go sweep my garage again in prepairation for the big day

I hear ya man...It's like being a kid knowing that Christmas is just around the corner... huge anticipation isn't it? on the mods! Can't believe you're SCing so soon bro. Oh well, warranty is overrated anyway. Good luck man, and make sure to post up pics as soon as you get her! BTW, how's the pup?

The puppy is great... I cant believe that he has put on 15lbs since I posted his pics... he is getting huge, He ended up getting laser eye surgery the other day... I know, I couldn't believe it either, he had a "Cherry Eye" and had the gland cut down with a laser. I will be sure to post up some pics of the new car in a few weeks when I get it.

Prolapsed nictating membrane huh? (AKA cherry eye). I've done about 100 of those surgeries. You'd crap your pants if you knew how amazingly quick and simple that surgery is considering you probably paid several hundred smackers. Anyway, definitely post up pics. I'm seriously considering an 08 after hearing about the LS3 going into them...but if prices are way more expensive than the 07's, I'll happily spend less

Nearly that time, isn't it!!! BTW, did you find it cheaper to build your own/ordering instead of floor model?

Both ways were similar in price, but I found exactly what I wanted for gm employee pricing.... I hope to fly up to wisconsin next weekend and drive back in the new vette.... btw the sale of my c5 fell through.... Now I will have two vettes for a little while. I had better get rid of the c5 soon... or my wife will kill me.

and we know what happens when "momma" isn't happy, don't we? Good luck on the C5 sale J! Make sure to post up lots of pics when you finally get her! I think I'm almost as excited for you as you are! You certainly deserve it, as a matter of fact, I think all Marines should be issued a new vette as a part of serving our country! Think that'll ever happen?
