Back From the Past
I've been absent from the Forum for quite a while and wanted to stop in and say 'Hi' to all my old friends here.
I've had the Z06 in storage for a couple years and been trying to decide whether to sell or hang on and get back in the Vette world again.
Seems like every time I get close to listing it I get cold feet and back out.
It's been such a passionate part of my life the past several years it's very hard to think about parting with it.
Here are some of my favorite photo's from the past that might be familiar to some of you guys/gals.

Great to hear from you Jim. It's tough to maintain a super high level of enthusiasm for years on end. Sometimes you need to just take a break for a while - like you have.

I was gone for couple of years myself. Went to C6 world for a year then sold it to my son, then moved to Vipers briefly before coming back with another C5.
I am enjoying the second time around a lot better. Welcome back.

Can't tell you what to do, man, but if you were to ask me, KEEP IT, it is one of the best C5 around, great setup, nice paint job (original), are you a fireman?. My reason, if you sell it, you'll want a C6 and then you'll spend another $30gs on getting it to be even better than this C5. See I just saved you money.. Welcome back, and I know you Enjoy the ride... Ditto, I'm back also due to changing my shift back to graves, lots of slow calls here at my department.. Later..
All Aboard!!!
