Default Good bye

Good bye and thank you for all the help that I received from the fellow members while active here. I sold my AE to make room for a Lexus SC 430, its replacement. Enjoyed having the AE, but found that the SC is more friendly to my needs. Maybe someday I will obtain another vette, possible my favorite model (C1), who knows?

Congrats and enjoy your new Lexus. Corvette ownership,for me at least, is an incurable disease. You may be back sometime.

Congrats on your new Lexus and the sale of your ‘03. Hopefully some day you’ll be back in the Corvette ownership club.

Hoping to see you back in a vette! I have said goodbye to a number of corvettes over the years and wandered, automotively speaking, in many different directions but always seem to find my way back to corvettes as my fun ride. In between, good luck with your new Lexus and best wishes!

You'll be back. I sold my admiral blue C4 in April 2017 and came back in December 2017 with a beautiful pewter 2000 FRC with only 23k miles. We will see you soon.

Congrats and good luck with the SC 430. Too bad you couldn't keep the AE too.
Just like Sabre34, Corvette ownership is an incurable disease for me too.

The Lexus 430 SC is a fine car and I’m certain you’ll enjoy it.

Best of luck with the 430. Looked it up, great looking car. Nice trade off from a vette.

Best wishes and good luck from your fellow Port Charlotte resident. I'm the guy with red C5 with black stripe and black wheels (you will notice the aggressive loping cam and fairly loud exhaust if you happen to encounter me at a stoplight. Or you may see me in my lowered supercharged silver C5 with the Euro taillights. Either way, feel free to wave!
