Default Thanks Guys!

Had to sell my 03 to come up with some quick cash for college for my daughter. Did have a little left over to buy a 1930 Ford roadster with a v8 Flathead. Just want to thank everybody for there help when I asked for it. All the threads were very worthy of the time it took to read them. Remember now when you see a guy waving at you in a Black Roadster, don't flip him off, he's a retired C5 owner. Happy Driving Guys. Trainor

Sorry you had to sell the C5, but at least you got another toy to enjoy and helped your daughter out in the process.

As for pics, sign up for an account on a site like photobucket.com or tinypic.com, download your pics to that site, then copy the IMG link into your forum post. The pics should show up.

When your daughter graduates from college she can thank you by
getting you a C7....
You easily made the right choice as some have stated "family first"
Love the avatar and good luck 2ya

A 32 Ford is my dream car. When I retire, I'd like to build one. AND, best of luck for you and her.
