Default Been thinking of...

I have been beating the idea to death the last few weeks and after being back on the forum browsing around and offering advice and knowing a lot of folks on here have to put their cars up during the Winter I have decided "Not to sell."







I do enjoy taking it out from time to time.

Come on down Gator! Let me know when. We have a decent group of Vette guys and we have a car event every Saturday night. Sounds fun!

My wife the Gator nut is out rooting against FSU as we speak - LOL!!!

If you sell it, you know you would want it back.

The only reason to sell a Vette, is to get a new one.

I am having a hard time saying this, but I am actually pulling for FSuckU to win. I am not a fan of a school with no schedule (In fact they have the easiest Strength of Schedule in the country) getting a BCS bid when there were so many better match-ups.

Great decision. That color is the only other color I would have bought if I hadn't found my AE Red.

I hear ya!...I travel for work so my seat time can be somewhat limited. More so when I lived up in CT. Now, there's stuff to do around the house and we just got a puppy.

If you get the opportunity for a shorter trip, MB isn't too far. There are three of us, along with a C4 and 2 C6's, in the same neighborhood.

Thanks for your service to our country. Navy Vet as well...MMC(SS)

Great looking ride!

I need to drive up to MB also. I used to be there frequently as I went to Coastal and my grandparents lived in Murrells Inlet. Being a Navy Vet you may appreciate that my Navy Blue Metallic vert is the "Blue Angel." Named in tribute to service folks and the Navy town in which I have lived most of my life, Jax, FL, plus the C5's Jet like looks.

Where are you located at the beach?

I actually live just outside of the area over in Johnsonville. It is right off of 378 going West towards I-95. Only 40ish miles away if I come that way, if I go through Georgetown, it is more like 50ish miles and then I have to cruise through the Inlet.
