Party Time!
Hi,
for those who don't know, I was notified in late November that I was to be layed off from my job on 1/31/07.
I was very worried about how I was going to get by and wondered if I may have to sell my beloved C5.
I was layed off on 1/31. I receved 9 weeks of severance pay and 4.5 weeks of vacation pay.
I started a new job the following Monday.
Today the severance check was deposited. I payed off the $5k or so I owed on the Vette online. Then another $88 in interest showed up, so I payed that too!
She is all mine and I will not have to give her up!

Sorry to hear you were laid off but happy you picked up another one so soon. That's great. Also happy you paid off the car and now she is all yours....

Congrats on the payoff as well as the new job. Hope it's going well! MSG's are the best color, glad you got to keep it. Good luck towards your future mods. I think those are what's next for me too!
