C5 Is Gone :(
The C5 was sold on Sunday. 
I never watched anyone else drive it before and it sure looked good driving away but I hated to see it go.
A couple years ago I had a '32 Ford Sedan, a '34 Ford coupe, a '69 Camaro, a '03 HD Road Glide and a Vette. Now they are all gone.
Ever feel like you are going backwards in life?

Had to be hard to watch the car go away - I felt the same when I sold mine last year. Hope some day you get back into a Corvette.

Interestingly, my good friend felt the same way when he sold his C5 a few years ago. He loved the car, however had to sell it and move into a sedan due to family priorities. Although he had many sports cars over the years and I would not consider him a "Vette-only" guy, he did make the same observation about how the car looked as it was being driven away.
Since most of drive our Vettes (C5s) and only see them when we wash or park them, I don't think we appreciate how good they look in motion.
After installing my euro tail lights, I asked my wife to drive the Vette around the block testing the turn lights, brakes, etc. while I followed to make sure everything worked. I remember thinking - "Damn! What a great looking ride!"
