Default Moving on

Well guys and gals just inked a deal on a Blk 08 Coupe the delivery will take place on Monday 10/22. Will have to say goodby to the 04 which has been the most reliable Vette out the four I've owned. But most of I'm gonna hate going to the C6 side. You guys have been like family hope the reception over there is as warm and informative has the C5 section has been. Also hope the C6 gives me the service that my CE has. See you guys and if it's alright I'd still like drop by from time to time and check on you guys.

Congratulations, the 2008 is a major improvement, you will not regret it !

What color did you get ? Be sure to post a picture here.

I think I have resigned myself to keep my C5 forever (another 20 years anyway). I like how its looks and don't need any more power or handling (heck I don't use all of this on the street). Plus, I think I am too cheap to spend the money. I also got a reliable car - 109,000 miles and only had oil pressure sensor and one headlight gear problem.

Congrats. The '08s are the hottest thing going right now. You won't regret it a bit with the LS3 and much nicer interior, trust me.
