Default Sold the Vette tonight...

First I would like to thank all of you for a wealth of information and hospitality!

I am a fan for life and hopefully back in the saddle in the next few years to come when I can pay cash for another one. There is just so much I want to do that I could not possibly afford along with the monthly payment and rising cost of gasoline... I drive way too much and sometimes even feel guilty for putting so many miles on such a fine machine to keep it as my daily driver. *around 20+k miles a year*

Farewell to all and if anyone in the Dallas / Fort Worth area see's someone in a Honda Accord catching a glimpse of what I used to have don't laugh!

Respectfully yours,

David Mims.

You'll be missed. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll be back in the saddle soon enough

Fair Winds and Following Seas. Wave when you get back in a Vette.

Sounds like a good decision to me

You'll be back in the saddle when the time is right (and chances are, the next one will be perfect having had your "shake down cruise" to get to know exactly what you like and dont like).
