Good Bye....and hello again (edited)
I'll be back in about 6 yrs
I just got back from the dealership and i traded in my 2002 Z06 on a Brand New 2011 Nissan Xterra 4wd. Im going to be moving to N.VA soon & i have a 1.5yr old daughter. I held onto the vette as long as possible but its started to become more of a burden than enjoyment due to it only being a 2 seater. Ive had a great time here and learned a lot. I will get another vette though once this is paid off. Itll be a C6Z though. Anyways here are a few pics. If anyone is interested in a 02 C5 Z06, it is at Don Williamson Nissan in Jacksonville, NC. If you want any info on it just let me know. Take Care everyone.
It will be getting its fog lights installed on Friday. (part of my deal
)

Good luck. See ya when you get your next Vette.
In the meantime, add some CCWs to your Nissan and perhaps a customer DD console and you'll feel right at home!

you have your priorities right.
Guess that is why so many of us are in our 50's before we ever get a vette.

Good luck with your family/future. I finally gave into 5 years of my wife's nagging me for an SUV, but at least I didn't have to lose my 'Vette. I've had a Nissan Titan for 6 years, and it's been a great, comfortable truck. I won't ever need to offroad, so the wife was satisfied with a crossover. (Ford Edge Sport). Traded our Acura TLS, with sorrow. Acura makes a great car.

Exactly! I always wanted a vette but it just wasn't practical for me.
Good luck to the OP.

Good luck with the family. I had to buy the wife a SUV also, but it had to be a Lexus RX 350.
