Thanks. First thing is a bath and a wax, condition the leather inside and give the mats a shampoo.
I probably won't mod it too much since I'm one of the weirdos who likes their vehicles in stock condition.
While looking around I rode in a 98 vert that had Borla cat-backs and I really didn't like how loud it was. I like the sound of the stock exhaust much better.

Yeah, I thought about saying something along the lines of 'Joined the Brotherhood of Men', but I know that some of the girls like to drive `Vettes, too.

Congratulations...be sure to check to see if the shock stuffers were removed. Mine had 29000 miles on it when I found mine. Big difference in ride. I will try and find a post about them and post it, in the mean time someone else may have it.
But if you look under the car and if you see a small yellow tad or strip sticking out of the rubber boot on the shock they are still in. They were put there for shipping purposes on the 2003 and some 2004s and a lot of the dealers didn't remove them by mistake.

I will check these out soon as I don't really seem to be able to tell the difference when I switch between tour and sport.

Thanks!
I actually look forward to the morning drive to and from work and I'm always looking for excuses to drive it. (Honey? Do you need anything from the grocery store? Walmart? Target?...)
And, I've discovered that if I don't speed I can enjoy the ride for a longer amount of time!

I shouldn't say this cause I feel I'm cursing myself(knock on wood) but the other club you'll see people joining is the FRC. Many think it means fixed roof club as in hard tops or ZO6's, but you see people are dumbasses and sometimes they forget to lock their tops down. They then join the "Flying Roof Club".

I thought you were talking about another kind of club. It would be best if you didn't ask what kind of 'club' I had in mind.
