I don't mean to be a bummer, but my husband bought a 2007 Xterra new. Got rid of it after 6 months. Impossible to feel in control while driving at high speed on the turnpike with wind conditions. I wish you luck with yours.

Best of luck!! But as mentioned, doesn't mean you need to leave At one time I had 3 Vette's and it was not practical at all. Especially since we don't trust parking them anywhere etc. We ended up getting rid of our Supercharged FRC and getting an Escalade, best move I ever made.

You've got to do what is right for the family. Nice new ride and hope you do get back into a Vette someday.

Well.......here I am! Funny how my original post back in 2011, I said in a joking manner that I'll see you guys in 6yrs.

Well it's almost exactly 6 years haha. I don't have another vette yet, but I am looking. Hopefully within in the next year or so I'll be able to get one. Although I do still want a C6Z, another C5Z might just be what I get. Something about a wide body C5Z, I just can't get enough of.

Anyways I thought I'd bump my old thread. I look forward to seeing what's going on in the community. I see some real nice Corvette Creationz parts available.
