Sorry for your loss.... May you find peace as I know this can be a sad time. Just keep pictures of her and build a small shrine in a closet made of ECBMs, ignition switches, spare ground conections and a small piece of carpet from under the bleeding udders. Enjoy your new ride!

Sooner or later you'll be back in the Vette again just as I have been doing for the past twenty six years. Good Luck

This is true! It's an addiction without a cure. No rehab will work so just live with it. Sometime this next week you will be driving along and see another c-5 and you will say "why in the hell did i sell my vette?"
Then you will cry!!!!
