Default That day I dreaded finally came....

Sadly, today the car left my garage permanently.

Yep, I sold it and the new owner loaded it up, and took it to its new home.

As I told him, if he can have half the fun with that car as I've had over the past few years, his life will be great.

Hopefully, he'll be on the forum sometime and become part of the community.

So, it's time for me to turn the page.

Adios.......

Sorry to see you go! Are you going to still instruct or run your daily driver at DE's?

Regardless, good luck in your new journey.

Jody - sorry to see the car gone ! Just because you sold it doesn't mean that you cant live vicariously - even a little bit - through the forum. Keep in touch.

Done completely or maybe something new, hopefully?
Sad to read this man, nobody wants to see part of the group leave!
I wish you well!

Hey Jody,

Hope to see you in a C7 Z51 .

Keep it "stock" track prep'ed and track events are no longer a chore.

We all have enjoyed the Pink Flamingos...

Cya @ the track,

Trump

I'll bet that was hard to do with all the sweat equity you had in the car. Surely you won't be giving up tracking - just moving on to something different, like a Miata or GTR?

I sold my race car a few months ago with all intensions of leaving the sport. Not even two months went by and I bought another Corvette. This one I'll leave stock, but can still enjoy Autocross events.

Good luck Jody on staying away.
