It's an amazing feeling to finally pay off a really nice vehicle like this. I remember the feeling when I paid off my first Mustang Cobra years back...felt like I was on top of the world! Congrats on the feat!

This car being paid for is a different feeling than my Camaro's. I almost had to sell the car 6 months ago as I lost my job. Of course that is after i spent hours and thousands on the new Procharger setup, new hood and the paint.
Luckily I have a buyer for one of my Camaro's, that will pay off the Vette.

The feeling is relief that I can keep the car and not have to resort in selling it.
