Default So Long

Well, sold the C5 last night - This was my 3rd Corvette and there may be others coming down the road, but for right now, I'm 'Vetteless....

I appreciate all of you guys who offered advice and ideas...many were very helpful. I'll miss you guys and might see you on the forum at a later date.

So long!

Hope it was your choice and you weren't forced to sell due to some bad luck...

I think I'd miss this forum as much as I'd miss my vette if I were to sell


Good Luck

just because you don't HAVE one doesn't mean you don't love them!

Been there, done that. If you're like the rest of us, you'll be back before you know it with another Vette. In the meantime, good luck to you and hope you stick with the forum.
