Default Farewell

Although I have not been a CF member long, I have enjoyed the association. I have sold the C5 that I had, to go back to my first love, Street Rods. I feel that I passed the car along to an A1 Corvette man. Here are a few pics of my new ride!

I can understand the feeling. I'd like to have a street rod too. Unfortunatley I can only afford one so the vette won out. Good luck!

Looks sweet Alan. Did you get it home yet? I'm sure that A1 Corvette man really appreciates the kind words and will enjoy the Vette too. Thanks for all your help.

She got here today and is on the charger as I type.
I'll talk to you Monday. Have fun surprising your buddies.

Very nice ride.

Hey you can stick around - don't have to have a Vette to stay in the family.

Beautiful Street Rod Congrats

A completely different type of car. Exact opposite driving experience and although I appreciate the amount of time and effort put into many Street Rods, their originality and beauty, there is nothing like the all out performance/handling and looks of todays Corvettes (C5 and C6) IMHO.

The ride may be a little different but the roads are still the same.

Enjoy your new toy.
