Vette-less
Last wknd, I ran an ad just to measure interest in my '81, and ended up selling it to the first caller for the asking price. It was very strange watching it disappear down the street without me.
Now, what to replace it with??

Sold the Vette
Lets see, an 81, Pretty good body style, and you hang out here with a senior rating, that means most of it probably worked . A pretty good paint job. Tell me you got offered 10,000. I'd say if you didn't you probably wont buy another Vette.

I was torn between keeping it original (except for the exhaust), and spending money to hop it up. What would I end up with? A $10,000 Corvette with another $5k (minimum) in go fast parts. Would I enjoy a modded '81? Hell yeah, but for how long before I'd want to move on to something else?
I guess that's why I sold it, and likely the reason I've owned 39 cars and trucks, and 12 motorcycles, since 1976. One day, I'll find that one car I'll be completely satisfied with....
