Well I just traded my vette today for a BMW for my daughter.
I got 8K for my car,thats what I paid for it 2 years ago.
Thanks for all your help fixing it.
I hope to see you all again when I get another vette,this time it will not be black.
I will still pop in from time to time because I may be able to help someone.

No law here says you have to own a Vette. You can still live vicariously
through us if you choose

You gentlemen are better fathers that I would ever be. If I had a kid a BMW would not be the car for me to give away.

We'll see how long it takes you to start having withdrawels, my guess is you'll have another before to long. If not, you can still stick around and enjoy the fun.

I remember after my 92 burnt in Jan 03 I was going crazy and during that lapse (Jan 03-Oct04) I saw more Corvettes than in my entire life. It drove me crazy.

Bought Betty Boop in Oct 2004

Well, you have given your daughter a lesson about the sacrifices a parent makes for their children. I hope that it is one that is learned, and appreciated. Now, start looking for a replacement Corvette as a reward.

At least he didn't make the mistake I made, I gave my 18 year old son my 93 Vette in 2002.He had it 4 months before he totaled it.

He got a beat up old truck after that.

Best of luck with you decissions. You will have the chance to look at all the choices from a fresh point of view. If its meant to be you will get another vette and maybe a C4.
