Default Sad day

On May 24, 2003, I was finally able to get rid of my car, a purple 95 coupe automatic with 83k miles. I was given respectable trade-in on it and although I am still a HUGE fan of corvettes, I am not much of a fan of THAT corvette.

Right now, I am vette-less, but my replacement transportation has a full 3/36k warranty and the extended 7/100k warranty will be purchased soon. Its been a LONG time since I had a warranty, this will be a learning experience tenfold!

Mike

2003 Cavalier LS Sport

Quite a change but my life has taken a big change and the vette was no longer practical. Not to mention the money I was spending just to be able to get to and from work in maintenance and not mods.

Maybe when the C7 comes out I can get another one...

Pics are up on my site if interested.

****** EDIT *******

First round is window tint, its WAY too bright in there right now, 5% will fix that. Second round is multimedia, and a changeover to leather interior. Third and final is better tires. Maybe sometime down the road I will do exhaust when this one falls off.

Nice car - I have been Vettless on several occassions. You will hate it when you see Corvettes on the road. Most owners end up with another one someday. Good luck..You can still wave.. :seeya

I'll second that. Did you expect everyone on the Corvette forum to be thrilled about someone trading a Vette in on a Cavalier :lol:

:withstupid:

Maybe you should have considered a different 'vette. You said yourself that you weren't a particular fan of that 'vette. They're not all the same...
