Sick and tired!
Hi friends, I haven't been on here for a while because I sold my vert in April. Anyhow, I bought a Kia Optima because it was great on gas and I thought the turbo would fill the void created by selling the vette. But boy was I wrong! I find myself staring at every single vette on the road and when I pass by one I find myself waving (in my kia) and then I realize what the hell is wrong with me?
So I'm here to announce my intentions. Homewrecker is looking for a C5 FRC or Z06! I miss the creaks, the temperamental fuel gauge, pounding on passenger side door panel (for the window to roll down) and pressing reset on the DIC when I see the "service engine soon" message.
I'm sorry I left the corvette family and I hope my old vert forgives me...
I shall return.

No harm no foul. I have strayed away and did the unthinkable as well.... I bought a supercharged Mustang in place of the vette... 4 months later I was back in another vette. Come on back brotha, well welcome you with open arms lol. Jay

Very nice vette you got there Jay! I was looking at mustangs too but deep down inside the only cure is vitamin C5

I still have my vert , but when I drive my other cars and wave to other corvette owners they think I'm nuts when I wave. It's an instinct to wave to other corvette owners. Your post made me laugh .

Your vert looks like the one I saw and salivating when I was on the 5 passing Irvine. A turning point I say...

BTDT. Every time I get rid of a Vette, it doesn't take too long for me to starting eyeing them again. I think the longest I've been without a Vette in the garage is about a year.
Good luck on coming back to normalcy/reality.
