Default Bye for now

They came and took my vette today and put it in storage for the next four years. :cry I am moving to Germany and won't see it for a long time. I feel like :U .
The packers are coming to pack up our stuff tomorrow and Wend and then we are off. I'm going to airborne school to jump out of planes for the next three weeks and then take 30 days off. Then it is off to Germany for beer, Octoberfest and I guess I'll go to work for a little bit too.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me over the last two years. Especially Neil and Rick.
I'll look back in on the forum in a few months.
Scott

You will dig it there. I spent four years there as a kid when my pops was stationed at Ramstein. I didn't want to come home. Enjoy!

Scott, I hate to see you go, but you will love Germany. Please call before you go if you get a chance. If you are near Fort Campbell, give us a call and we will meet and have a beer. You'll have three or four years to plan and get ready for your Vette. There is a Bavarian Corvette club so look those guys up. Man, I envy you. I wished I was going along.

How come you're not taking it?

Did you make sure it's off it's wheels so the tires don't develop flat spots?

Be safe in Germany.
