Default Long time no post.....

Hi everybody!!!! Ever since selling my vette, I have kind of lost touch with the corvette community. I will have my current car, which is the RX-7, paid off soon and will hopefully be back in a vette in not too long. I loved my vette, but I can't get over the handling of this RX-7. The 50/50 weight ratio of this car is outstanding, makes cornering a breeze. Enough with the RX-7, I still can't wait to get back into a vette, but the next one I get will have to be an LT-1.

Most Vett owners have been without for a period of time but the purists always get another one. Good to see your post. Keep in touch but we do not want to hear toooo much about your RX-7. ;)

I did read an archived post about someone else seeing an Orange Vette on the I5, so it is possible. If I do ever see it on the road I am going to try to get the guy to stop so I can see the vette again.

Yup, I saw it too.. south on I-5.

The new owner is probably getting some healthy miles out of it. He had a new triple decker aluminum spoiler on it, and some gold embossed purple flames running down the sides. I didn't get a good look at the driver because the fur interior was soo thick.
