Default I am back!!!!!!! Keeping the car.

As some of you know, I decided earlier in the week to sell my Z06. Well, we were headed to Atlanta to sell the car, and after 1.5 hours on the road I was having too much fun. So we decided to turn back and I am keeping the car. All it took was a little seat time!

Thanks to everyone who sent me IMs encouraging me to keep my baby.

I guess there is no going back now :steering:

That's awesome - I have a buddy who also has a Z06, and he periodically contemplates selling to rid himself of the payments - but it only takes a quick drive to remove those thoughts from his head!! Glad you're enjoying the Vette!! :thumbs: :seeya

It took some modding and time for me to to realize to hold onto the car for 1-2 more years.

That way I can get either a 2004 C5 or c6 w/ a Bimmer as my daily driver :yesnod:

Pride,

You did the right thing, glad you kept your pride and joy. I know last Dec. when I thought I would have to sell the Z I was REALLY down, man I am glad that never had to happen :)

Best performance car I have ever owned.

I know exactly where you're coming from. I was soooo close to trading my Z on a WS6 Trans Am. All it took was a drive in the Z06 to change my mind. :smash: :thumbs:
