Drove it home from a campsite, getting great gas mileage in the high 20's. Smogged it, getting an awesome score that amazed even the 'tech. Threw my road bike in the back of it and took it to a lake-course for a good workout.
Reveled in the fact that I don't need a hybrid, electric or SUV vehicle to be handy, green, fast and sexy all at once.
God bless the LS1 F body...

Yesterday -
Replaced my plastic headlight gears with Al ones - no more stripping teeth!
Today -
Changed all my spark plugs - cylinder #4,6, and 8 all looked fouled - so, in short - got my V8 back!

5,000 miles ago complete new pulley package, water pump, alternator. Clutch rebuilt with all new parts.
Today purchased LED fog and tail lights, searching for LED 3rd brake light, bought an HID and projector headlamp conversion kit. Next new turn signal lamps after buying new bulbs 3 days ago, LED reverse lights, LED side marker lights with smoked covers. Tuesday my new window motor comes in and installing that, Thursday performance chip arrival and installation. Also purchased a second key fob.
Next week, new short throw shifter and replacing the wear pads on the transmission fork. Ordering a custom 10" sub with amplifier for that little space in the trunk
Just anticipating 6 months from now. SLP stage 3 performance package. Tuned length headers, custom DiabloSport Predator tuner, full CAI system (lid, bellows, k&n filter, cai, maf), SLP loudmouth system with high flow cats, 1.8 ratio roller rocker arms. That will be a fun $3,500 to spend. Rated at 400hp going from stock which I am
Oh also have new plugs and wires installed (OEM) will be changing for performance rated plugs and bigger wires. Then 3.90 gears, Eaton differential, and a 9inch rear end
