Default Corsa is on

Have not posted much lately been doing my best Todd impression, spending hours at the buffing wheel polishing stainless. Went to Randys' today and did the welds, no rattles, leaks are draging the ground and I think it sounds great.

Hey Steve, was that your new patch of rubber I saw on Willows yesterday? It was at the light on 116 going north. Looks like someone lit them up good at the light. I must have just missed it as there was still a pile of rubber debris behind it when I passed over it.

And how does that new exhaust flow now? Do you still have the same problem? And what are you going to do with that Borla??????

That rubber does not belong to me, nor does the patch coming into my neighborhood. Funny I had a neighbor come up to me and ask if I left the marks coming into the neighborhood, look man just cause I have a car capable of lightin up does not mean I left them, besides I hope I can keep it a little straighter than that.

Yeah I'm pleased with the Corsa, Sounds very nice at idle accents the cam sound nicely, On the freeway coming home no droon at all, and when you hit it just barrrrrrrrrrks.

Car is headed out to Speed Secrets for the next round of mods then I am done. Yeah that's right done just like Bobby swore he was not going to mod the Z06, and Ryan wasn't going to touch the Z-28, hopefully it will never be done.

Looks great!
I like a car that growls then barks. There is something about that "sound" that makes the headlights pop out
