Waxed it two days ago. Went out last night to the garage and talked to it, stared at it a lil bit. Went out again today and stared at it wondering if it's gonna be mad if I sell it to get a Z06 lol. Be back gotta go talk to it again. I'm feeling guilty for mentioning the Z word lol.

every day for the last week, everytime i start it up in the morning to go to work, i look over at my exhaust sitting against the wall and think "man i need to get that put back on." my open headers cause my rear-view mirror to shake downwards after about 5 miles of driving.

Re-tightened my ARP header bolts after doing a gasket swap a few weeks ago, checked and topped off the oil then enjoyed the loud, fast ride to work.

Took the intake manifold off again, swapping the BBK for an LS6. Still using the original oil pressure sending unit too, somehow I have managed not to break it after taking the intake off 3 times total

Now watch I'll probably break it somehow when I go to install the LS6.
