Smile My New Chapter. 6.2 liters of it.

Hello all!

I have been away for quite a while. Lots and lots of changes, so many things have shifted. I think I have even had a couple cars since I have been active. I'm still hoping for a mobile version or mobile friendly setup. . .

But on to the newest edition to the family.

My first tank didn't show me much, as I don't believe it was actually a full tank. It looked like 7/8ths at best from the dealership. Indicated 22 MPG for miles driven based on a full tank. I should have my new garage entry up shortly.

Soon I will be adding a HUD, heated seats, kill switch, and vehicle monitoring. I am waiting on the Scan Guage until I get the HUD 100%. I've put out feelers for a C6 front end to start working on the lower grille block, and airdamn/splitter. As purpose built as she is, the underbody needs [aerodynamic] work. During the inspection I was talking to myself, and they couldn't figure out what I was saying. . . The underbody is perfect from new, but a mess for smoothness.

This vehicle will be a challenge. Not only do I need to keep her beautiful, but there are 6.2 liters of gas guzzler under the hood. No start stop, no cylinder deactivation, nothing fancy- just big 'ol American muscle. This'll be fun

My biggest question now, is. . . Where do I put the Ecomodder sticker?!
