Best mod

Title mod checked off the list late last night. Pretty good feeling, paid it off close to 2 years early.

Now in the coming days I’m going to start working on some of the things I want to do to it. Cam, headers, boost, rear suspension, etc…
I took it out for a spin today to celebrate. Wouldn’t you know it, I think my AC refrigerant might be a little low. The clutch was cycling a bit more than it should.

Yep. The PAID mod is the best. The driver mod is the next best.

Congratulations! I just paid mine off last month too, and it is a great feeling. My car is still bone stock, and I'm happy with it the way it is, but I may just be worried that if I start modding I'll never stop.

Thanks guys! It’s always nice to get stuff paid off. I hate debt. My wife asked me when I was going down to buy another 5th Gen ZL1, 1LE or Vette since blue is paid off… she must know me or something I told her with the way the world is these days, I’m only striving to get out of debt entirely at the moment. No more big purchases for me for a little while. Once the inevitable incoming recession or worse is over we’ll see what happens.

Fantastic! Congratulations. It's a great accomplishment and feeling. Mine went from being a drain I struggled to justify keeping to the asset I own and can use whenever I have time. Doesn't cost me much to sit.

It really doesn’t stop it’s bad lol. I just got cam, heads and converter done and already thinking of my next mod to make it faster. Plus more suspension and everything else lol.

nice. good job.
never had a loan for a car in my life. always save up and buy them cash.
only had 3 loans in my entire life.
3 mortgages.
last one was paid off in 10 years flat. never a good thing to owe ANYONE money for anything.
