Default Sold the Vette...
After 7 great years with her, she is gone. Another new owner will enjoy her as much as I did.

For the new owners of a C5, these are GREAT cars. Yes, there may be a few nuisance issues with them, but trust me, they are worth it! After owning 16 different vehicles, she was the best.

Yep , You wonder why someone that seemed to love it so much would just walk away , and do what for fun ? Sounds like life is over for him ! We better watch for leapers on the bridges !

Any acceptable reason for you thumbing your nose at the Corvette gods and selling your car?!?!?!?

Sometimes it is just time for a change. I've been there too. So, what's replacing the C5? Best of luck to you in whatever direction you go.

I will get another some day. Just had to change-up. My usual length of time I own a vehicle is 1-2 years. I had her for 7. The main reason I posted this was to let any potential new Vette buyers that these are great cars!

First time he has to buy parts or service from Jaguar he'll regret giving up the Vette.
