Default She's Gone....

Off to her new home in Missouri. Just watched the fine folks drive down my snowy cold street (kinda sad). I hope they have miles of smiles with it just as I have had. I want to say thank you to all the fine folks I have traded information with on this forum since 2002. Take care C5 General

Scott,
Sorry to see you go. Thanks for the help with the engine compartment painting a couple years ago.

I know how you feel, I sold my C3 427/435 back in the day. I pray I will never have to sell Maggie...

I know how you feel. I sold my 78 silver anniversary about 10 years ago. It only took another trip to the Corvettes at Carlisle 2 years ago to remind me of what I had been missing. Came home from the show and found a beautiful 98 C5. Then, this September the wife wanted her own vette and bought a low mileage and clean 85 (see avatar). Now we are both all

Got to be hard to part with the car. Hope someday you end up back in another Corvette. Meanwhile, stick around here and enjoy the fun.

I can imagine how you must feel just now as I've been through this a few times myself in the past. Good luck in the future.
