I'm with you brother. I sold my C5 2 weeks ago, and am now driving a 4 door Pontiac G6. I'll be back one day, and you will too. We still have the memories. (Tear)

Thats it!?

Just, "I made a deal to sell my C5"? Nothing about what caused you to
come to this decision? No superfluous words of regret or mourning? Have
you really thought about WHAT YOUR DOING?!?!?

Ahh, I'm sure you have! Seriously, best of luck out there! But
don't be surprised if you find yourself crawling back here one day!
Grovelling to be let back in! Going through the pains of regret and agony
of selling the next most precious thing TO YOUR VERY SOUL!!!!!

But that OK, we'll let you back in!

I thought I would spare you the drama and details, bottom line is, the Vette is sold and it sucks.

Just think of yourself as being "between" Vettes right now... they seem to get into your DNA. Somewhere down the road I bet your urges, finances and a Corvette opportunity will again align...

I think I'll go with rcs's idea, I'm "between" Vettes at the moment, that sounds nicer.
