Larry, I'm a bit misty eyed! I'm going to miss you old friend. Maybe some day we'll meet and I can buy you that beer I've owed you for about a decade.

I hate to see you go but I could tell you were burnt out with the C4 when you had it for sale last year. Wish I could have bought it. I say, hold out and be the first one on your block with a C7.

Not sure, too much info to digest, I have not followed the C5 or C6 much, they usually followed me,
just kidding
Anyway, looking at 04 Z06 or early C6, if I wait long enough, I could grab an 06 C6 Z06.

Larry, going to miss seeing you on here.. Good luck with whatever Vette you buy. Many on here are going to miss your knowledge of the C4s . Maybe you and Ray Quayle can meet at Carlisle next time he comes back over here..I met Ray a few years ago and he's a great guy, ...Take care......WW

Have enjoyed many of your posts. Best of luck to you with your next vette. An 04 is a nice one as is an 07Z06 (do look into the hollow valve stem controversy however)

Larry, the C4 world is taking a serious hit by losing your knowledge-base and all the work you have done and developed with your car. Hopefully you'll check in time and again. Enjoy the new Vette and thanks for all the help over the years!

Chris, thank you! I kept thinking about putting a LSX engine into the 85 and then with all of the interior plastic parts getting old and hard to find and the cost of doing the LS install, I just figured it was time to move on.
If i had a garage to keep the 85, I would have done so, but until my son graduates High School, we cant move from our current home so we only have room for 3-4 cars
