Default Sold my Vette :'( but made this video as part of the healing process.

Well I sold by baby today. I was having some MAJOR second thoughts in the last couple days leading up to doing the actual deal and this past weekend was one of the most fun weekends I ever had in the car...cruising, bikini photo shoot, and a TON of people seemed to compliment me everywhere I went with it. Anyway, I made this video tonight as part of the healing process. I hope you guys enjoy it and I can't wait until I become a Corvette owner again down the road!

I feel your pain Gman. Hopefully in the next chapter you'll be rolling in another C5 perhaps a C6. Great video!

What mods did it have? Almost sounded liek a blower toward the end. The new owner did look young. Watching the vid made me sad and it isnt my car. I was waiting to hear "Every rose had its thorn" or something. You will be back in a vette seat soon

I feel so bad for you buddy and I know there are alot of us pulling for you to get into another one here in the near future. It was sad watching her pull away though.

Nice video! Sorry to see her go!

Man, that had to be tough watching someone drive away around the corner. I bet she never looked as good as she did then!

Don't worry, you will get your "Corvette Mojo" back soon!

Nice video - that was one good looking C5 you had. The ending made me think of when I sold my '00 - met the buyer at the airport in Kansas City and watched her drive it off into the sunset on the way to Arizona. I think it was one of the saddest days I've had seeing it driven away.

Hope you get back into a Corvette sooner rather than later.

I commend your ability and bravery to place 3 women on the hood at one time. You may have set some type of record for Vettes. I get nervous when my my wife leans on the fender - course that was after I had 5 strippers (at a local fundraiser carwash) on the hood of my '68 Camaro. Still have 3 dents to prove it (skinny elbows & knees they have).

That is/was a nice car - sure sounded yummy on the dyno. I shed a tear for you bud.
