Default Thanks It's Been Fun

It's time for me to say thanks to all who have helped me the last 4 years.Sold my car last week. I want to thank members like Patches , Toque , Peter , Don and other members who have helped me with my mods etc.This forum is great. My last pic of my ex car I will post. I probably will regret the sell, but life goes on.

That was a beautiful C5, but I'm sure you'll love the C7 when you are ready.

That had to be tuff. I remember this car. When I first saw this car on the forum I'm sure I mentioned just how beautiful car it was (is). Happy trails donald4972. Hope things are well with you.

I loved your Vert Old C5 :-) It was one of the cars here that inspired me to get a C5 and a Torch Red one at that....And the wheels! I went for 505's in the end but I look at yours and wonder what if....

Your car has always been one of my favorites. Good luck with whatever you choose in the future. I know how you feel. I don't know if it's old age or I feel the need to get something else, but after 15+ years I've thought about selling mine as well. Take care.

Beautiful 'vert for sure...I'm sure the sight of a new Stingray in the garage will ease the pain of saying goodbye...

C7 will be nice, but the new C8 will be even more stunning when it hit's the showroom floor in 2017. That's not too far down the road, we should be seeing leaked road test footage soon. Mid engine "Zora" C8 soon.

Thanks, but after getting so many low ball offers. I removed all my mods and sold them first ,than the car. It worked out way better. Sold most of my mods including my CCW to forum members.My CCW went to a great guy. I'm sure he will be showing off his new CCW soon.

C7 would be nice but ins. and taxes each yr, need deep pockets for that not to mention the initial cost but if U can afford a C7 the ins and taxes is a mute point. Good luck
