My vette is in the garage for the winter and my Therapist is getting rich off my current depression.

So what did you get for a DD?

I was out of mine for 4 months after an accident. Got it back just in time for a good shakedown on StuzCruz to Daytona USA a month ago today.

Had to give it back to the (body shop) today and drive home a rental Hyundai while they take care of several 'punchlist' items. At least they're paying the rental, but it reeeally hurts to be without it again, and feels like another 4 months already , and when they said Friday at the latest I'm already thinking that means sometime next week. It better be done right this time!!!

Oh yeah, I'm a Corvetteaholic alright. Don't care if there's a cure, but I do promise I'll seek more professional help whenever budget & time permit! A therapy session at Sebring last year

I can understand the feeling. With a company car and being up north I thought mine would rarely see the light of day this times of year but I typically need a fix at least one or two times a week.
