Depression without car
So wed morning I dropped my L99 off at East Coast Supercharging to get a TSP cam, ARH heads and axle back, CAI, and a tune. this is for their promotion with the car going into GMHTP magazine if any of you remember that thread. Well let's just say everything leading up to dropping the car off went extremely well. The customer service from Chris and Matt have been great, especially since I'm not a engine junkie but I am really starting to learn alot and get interested. They have worked with me in every aspect possible and I have not one concern with my car being with them.
Too bad, the only thing they can't help me with is how MISERABLE I am without the car. It's only been 2 days and I'm losing my mind. I've def taken for granted having such a beautiful car, being that I'm driving around an old Mitsubishi mirage that stinks like mold and barely works. On top of that a horrible week at work. I can't wait to get the car back and post some vids, but for now I just need to vent and tell you guys about my great experience so far. Maybe it's a blessing not having a car during new years in busy NYC.. Lots of drunk drivers. Ok, I feel slightly better.. Should last until tomorrow haha. Much love , happy new year everyone !

I know how you feel. I just got back from 6 days in Phoenix visiting family. Everywhere we went we were driving around in my folks' Prius (Zzzzzz); LOL. Talk about boring. It was nice to see the family again though.

I actually seriously considered doing this, but I didn't like that it was a VVT cam. I decided not to go through with it because it wasn't what I really wanted, going with the G6X3 in the spring.

SC looks like ima need a nice new catch can to go with this, I'll be in touch! And yes I was skeptical too at first about VVT but i didn't want to do the whole LS3 conversion and I already have crap gas mileage in NYC. Plus I get to have my car in a magazine! Not many people could say that!
