Default Corvette fever?

So i'm on vacation on the island of Kaua'i with my family, yet i can't stop thinking about my Z! Maybe because i have a C6 Z06 shifter assembly sitting on my desk at home and plan to order black motorsports when i get home. Damn corvette fever!

Corvtte Fever? Tell me about it. I bought my '98 Vert in Sept of this year. I loved it so much that I bought an '02 vert a month later. Thanks God(or maybe too bad) I only have a 2 car garage. My '04 Camry stays out in the rain.

Just lie back in the sun and accept it. Withdrawal symptoms are not nice. I feel your pain having just been Vetteless for 3 months.

Enjoy the holiday.

You can run but can't hide. Corvette fever can strike at any time.

I know your pain. I just got back from 10 days in Maui.
My Vette is in the barn for the winter, but just knowing I can see her when ever I want is comforting.

BTW I saw a C-3, a C-4, a bunch of C-5s (one really sweet red one) and several C-6s. Most of the C6s were verts and therefore probably rentals I presume, but I saw some coupes.

Have fun in Kaua'i. That is on my list for my next visit.

I have major Corvette fever. Ever since its been stored in September, it's gotten worse day by day. I spend more and more time on this forum looking at pictures of other Vettes. Buying mods over winter is making me that much more anxious as well.

Worse part is, I probably won't even get to SEE my Vette until end of March / beginning of April '07.
