Default It's Been A Week

Well, it has been a little over a week since the car was sold and during my trip to Gainesville, FL this weekend to watch FLORIDA destroy TENNESSEE, I saw a lot of vettes and I have to admit, I miss my car.

I do know that I will own another and I really want a new ZO6, but my first choice before I bought my coupe was the C5 Z06 (2002 or newer) and after seeing three C5Zs on the highway, I think that I will be getting the C5 Z when the time is right to buy.

Just wanted to share. Stay cool, save the : and if you see a guy in a RED SILVERADO waving, it is just me.

Micah

Hope you get another Vette sooner rather than later. I've been in your situation before (without a Vette) and really missed having one.

Yea why did you sell it?

Last time i read a post by you, you were struggling with Rim options.

Atleast your sticking to C5Z vs the dreaded C6

Good luck
