Default Final Farewell........

Thank you to all the great guys and ladies on the Best Corvette site on the web. You all offered a lot of help and encouragment. But got to a point that the money invested was not worth the payback. Sold my black beast yesterday. Was very hard to turn my back and walk away. Talk about a love/hate relationship!!!!!!!!!
I will be selling some left over parts. New condition Black painted top, and several smaller parts will list in the Parts for sale section.
But again thanks to all, your a great bunch. At least I was a member of an exclusive club for a while.
Save the wave!!!!!!!!!!! me I'm off to play with my Hemi......
C-ya.........

You now join the ranks of those who go around saying:
"I had a Corvette once".
"I used to own a Corvette".
"I had one of those".
"When I had my Corvette...."

Someday you will get another Corvette & you will be very happy you did.

I know-been there done that.

I too have "been there done that". Vettes are like Layes potato chips -- "no one can own just one"

Well, until you get another, farewell!

Not sure what your "Hemi" is, but if it is from the 60's you're still in an "exclusive club". Good luck and hopefully you'll return sometime.
