I can hardly hear my exhaust from the front of the car

I might have an exhaust video but it's just a catback so nothing special

My valve train is actually quieter now with the blue GM springs than it was with the old yellow GM springs but I can hear my exhaust from the front of my car since it's pretty deep

It's Monday again..whoo hoo!! I am gaining more mobility in my arm since tearing the pec some. It looks nasty with all the blood pooled to the top of my skin. It's almost covered my pec, and down across the top of my bicep. I am doing good, but the sucky part is I can't work on the car. Was supposed to be getting it polished and waxed and only have one hand. The wife helped me get the back tires on. It was quite entertaining seeing her find out how much 110 lbs of torque is to tighten the lug nuts. I used one hand/arm to show her how a torque wrench clicks at the proper torque. She did everything but jump up and down on it...hehehehe. She says I am nuts.

PZero 275/40/20 so now I have a square set up. Hope it works well with the ZL1 sway bars and soon I'll be adding the toe links and then trailing arms. Trying to stop wheel hop before it happens since I was getting some on the old tires at the end of last year. But I think that was due to the temperature and the nearly half tires

I had one hell of a weekend. Friday evening a close friend, his girlfriend and their 2 month old son were in a really bad car accident. He fell asleep at the wheel, she died from impact(she was in the backseat with the baby, and didn't have a seatbelt on. ) For 3 hours the entire world thought the baby was the only one who survived, we found out eventually that my friend was in surgery for his diaphragm. He was addicted to heroin in the past, and met his girlfriend while in a rehab center in Florida, they both have been drug free for almost 2 years. They obviously can't do much for my friends pain while he is in the hospital either because of the past addiction. It's a freaking nightmare, I couldn't imagine living with the guilt of killing your girlfriend, mother of your child. And to top it of, they turned it in to the prosecutor, so if some type of charge comes out of it, I'll be completely more bothered by this whole thing. Then Saturday, I noticed somehow, no idea how, as I haven't hit anything and park far away from anything curb like, my front driver wheel got curb rashes. So there's another purchase I have to make. Woo to another $300 spent for a new rim. Also heard a squealing later on while driving around, turns out my a/c belt was coming off the pulley(stupid stretch to fit belts always have issues).

trailing arms will help the most, followed by toe links.

The baby didn't sustain any injuries at all thankfully.
The baby was properly restrained in his car seat and seat belted in.

This is exactly why I wear seat belts in the back of cars as well.
