Default "What's that hump on the floor?"
This is funny (I thought), I just had to share. It's a beautiful day today and my 6 yr old daughter wanted me to take her for a ride in the Z28 since I was working on it, I don't drive it a lot since it's a garaged car and I just don't have time. Anyway, she wanted the t-tops out and after removing them, she climb's in the passenger side and immediately says, "Dad, what's that hump on the floor?" She was pointing at the passenger hump for the cats! I laughed and replied, "You sound like all the other auto critic's that complained about it, that's just the exhaust hump." The typical 6 yr old reply was "Why??" Hahaha, I just thought that it was funny, maybe just me.

I saw a guy remove that hump and welded some sheet metal there to make it flat. It would be a great idea for me to do, but I don't have to many passengers that ride with me...

Only thing that fits decent in the cup holder is a 1 liter of water (zepherhills bottle) and requires a bit of convincing...
