    Hate when people say it’s a mid life crisis, no crisis here. Just finally after raising three kids and working for over 35 years I can now afford something I’ve always wanted. Nice car but please, KEEP THAT ENGINE CLEAN!

      Well, the new owner will have to do that. I did the car all up and got bored. Sold it and now looking for the next fun toy.

      I agree, I hit 60 this year, planning on retiring next year and I’m treating myself to a C6 convertible soon as I can find the “perfect” one for me.

    I will look into raising my front end with the adjustment you mentioned so my air dams don’t scrape so much. I will take it to the dealer as I am no where near a mechanic!😂

    I start a lot of c6 videos but don’t finish…yours I finished. Hilarious. Good job. Trying to find that c6 convertible too.
    Not corvette advice but look up glp-1 agonist meds (wegovy, mounjaro). These new meds are amazing. Almost 60 lbs down since Aug. FYI not an ad just trying to help someone else out.
    Cheers.

      Thank you. I am glad you enjoy the videos. I got some that will have you rolling. Just broke some stuff on the vetted, so once those parts come in, I will let the world know of the dumb stuff I do. Lol.
      I will look further into GLP-1. I know they are mostly for diabetics, but might be for others too. Thank you.

    Enjoy it brother. I also rock a 08 C6 Conv., daily driver too!! Why? Cause I wanna!!!! Anyway, did the spoiler and the Pioneer radio. Must haves. Suggest you tint the glass, 30%, nice touch. See the calipers were done, necessary.
    Good luck buddy, enjoy. PS - getting ready to do the headlights, the V shape, not Morimotos........................

    • @midlifecrisis1979
      @midlifecrisis1979  Год назад

      Thank you. I think I will do the GTR headlights instead of the Morimoto headlights. Let me know which spoiler you did and if you like it. Still have not decided if I am doing the extended ZR1 spoiler or the Wickerbill 6.5 spoiler like the c7. I am leaning towards the extended ZR1.
