When your ready to come back, Buy a '99 for half the cost so the burden won't be so much. We hate to lose CF members to cash flow problems. But you're a smart guy, we'll see you soon.

Best of luck in the quest for cash.

I agree with the others, Nick. There is no law written or unwritten that says ya' gotta have a Vette to participate on the CF.

Stick around, keep your finger on the pulse of the Vette community and before you know it, you'll be ready to get another car.

Good luck!
