Thanks for the kind words everyone. Makes me feel good to know you guys are out there. I had another post a while ago about selling but the short version is this, had to take a big pay cut and my income is less than my monthly expenses so my savings accounts slowly shrink. I should be okay be the end of this year but it will take a long time to recover. I have sold off most of my toys with just my Jeep left to sell. I'd sell my boat but I'm so upside down in it that I'm stuck with it. So any play money will go into that for now as it will be my only toy left.
I've had Vette's since the early 80's, C2's through the C5. I will miss them greatly and hopefully get another one in a couple years. I think this current economic situation is a real eye opener for many people. My retirement accounts have shrunk like a wienie in ice water and that hurts too. Mine main goal now is to get into a second home which will be my retirement home and have that paid off. Then rebuild the retirement accounts and maybe then I can get another C5. Prices should be really low by then!
Thanks again for the well wishes!
(May have to bum a ride from you Mark or some of you other local guys. I can trade boat rides in the ocean!)
