Default It's been fun...

This is kind of a sad day for me. I made a deal to sell my C5. i've really learned a lot from this place, and enjoyed the brotherhood of Corvette ownership. If you're ever driving through IA and get a wave from someone that isn't in a Vette, it's probably me...

I'm through with toys for now, hopefully again someday, and no question it will be another Vette!

Once a Corvette person, always one.

I am sure it was a hard decision, but you need to do what is right for you now and who knows maybe the pay off later is 2 vettes....

Hope you stay around and enjoy the conversations....

If you ever need a Corvette fix, head on down to Hawkeye Country and we can do a quick road trip.

You don't need a vette to stay here. Plus, I'm sure you'll have another one someday.

Sorry to see you leave the fold. I hope it is only short lived. Good luck to you. You sure don't need to leave the forum just because you are without a Vette temporarily.

Sometimes you just have to make a change. I'm sure that that day will come for me at some point. Even though you may not have a Vette, please stick around and contribute to the forum.
