Youve got that right. I was laid off for 6 months and just took a job with 40% less pay and no benefits.

Me and my wife both laid off here! Been laid off since Dec 21 and my wife's been off and on since last summer. My vette may be the first thing to go if things don't turn for the better soon. Like you I will get another one

The bad part is that there are companies out there that request her exact experience level, but its like pulling eye teeth to hear from either them or the head hunters. If she didn't get an interview, its not hard to pick up the phone and tell someone that.

I will keep everyone in my prayers that opportunities will come along. In the mean time i feel confident that even if we have to sell our vette's, they are merely objects and the love and well being of our family is far more important, something will eventually come along and we will all be back in them before long.

Hope she finds something before you have to sell the car. But, sometimes you have to do what is best for the family. Like you said, there can always be another Vette in your future.
