Default a very sad day!!!!

My wife talked me into trading the vette in on a new Chevy truck. It's an awesome truck and we got a GREAT deal on it, but I'm going to miss my vette. :cry Even though as of late it seemed that every little annoying thing that could go wrong did, it was still the car I had always wanted and dreamed of having as a kid. I just wanted to tell everyone what a wonderful time I had on the CF and thanks for all the help and quality info, I learned alot from the forum and have yet to find a better bunch of people anywhere on the net!!! I hope you guys won't mind if I check in every once in a while even though I'm TEMPORARILY vetteless. :seeya :seeya :seeya

You should still hang around. They are some on here who don't even own a chevy let alone a corvette. No reason why you should ahve to go unless that's what you want. ;)

That's what wives are for. They let us know what we want when we think we are satisfied with what we have :lol:

I really think that if you stay active in the CF you're gonna regret getting rid of the 'Vette. So if you stay, you're gonna get another 'Vette.

You could always trade the truck in on a new vette. It's never to late.
I have realized that whenever I make a big ticket purchase my wife is usually only mad for about two or three days. And you know, the couch really isn't that hard. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
