Default Watched my baby head out the driveway earlier

After what has seemed like a way too short 10 months of ownership-my Orange baby has a new owner. Watched it pull out of my driveway a short while ago. Money was sorely needed in other areas. Loved that car-but I know the new owner is extremely excited to have it and will be well cared for, so at least there's that. I will own one again someday. These cars are truly amazing vehicles...

A big thank you to everyone that's on this board for all the help that you provided while I owned the car. This place is a phenomenal resource for any Corvette owner. Looking forward to coming back once I get the next one!

I feel your pain watching my 911 drive away in 2008. You'll get through it and will be back. I bought my C6 this past December after 7 1/2 years with a sports car. Best of luck!

Do that-come back soon. Heck, you don't even have to leave! Stay on here, read up, learn more, see what people are doing. Good luck and good to know you have your priorities straight.

Yep...been there done that. Sorry to hear that, but sounds like you have your priorities in the right place. Stay here and chat. Hopefully, it won't be long until you get another one.
