Default Going through Corvette withdrawls......

AARGHHHHH!!! I know I had to no really other choice but to sell my vette, but I am going through major withdrawls. I miss the feel of driving it, probably because of the attention I got from driving an Orange vette. I am sure I might start to feel better, but I know I won't fully recover until I have another vette.

I feel for you bro! I would just lose my mind if I didn't have mine. Owning a vette puts you in an elite group of people and it is a feeling like none other in the world. I'm pulling for you though. Just keep your eyes open, you'll find another one! :cheers: :cry

:(

I think I missed the post on WHY you had to sell it but someday you will have another. Maybe not orange, but it could have 300 RWHP stock and come in the form of an Admiral Blue with a white center stripe and two hash marks. :cool:

I'm sure you'll get another someday. :cheers:

I read the post on that and I was heartbroken about it, I at least had the choice of letting go of my vette. I don't know how I would feel it was taken by a fire.

Thanks for the invite, I might take you up on that.

I don't know if that would ease my pain or just make them worse, I think it would be kind of a tease if I were to be a passenger. :lol: :lol:

Or so I thought. It's the heads that I'm waiting on. They turned out real nasty. It's been 10 days and counting so far and the last I heard they were coming back to the shop today or tomorrow. I'm getting so ticked that I'm gonna be bald headed in the mouth from grittin' my teeth.

I hope you get back in the saddle again soon! :)
