Default Goodbye, folks...thanks for everything

Well the time has come where my financial situation has forced me to sell my beloved vette.

If anyone wants to buy a well-loved spiral grey 2003 coupe, check it out in the for sale section.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=950090

Thanks for all your advice and help, kind words and laughs over the period of my ownership. I hope to be a part of the corvette owners community in the near future and I wish everyone here all the best

In the meantime, please keep your fingers crossed for me

thanks again
take care

ryan

Sorry for your troubles, and I wish you all the best. Just because you sell the car and are Vetteless for now, doesn't mean you can't hang around. Once you've owned a Vette - you're a member of the fraternity.

Well, hopefully you will still hang around from time to time.
Good luck on your sale.
And I will keep my fingers crossed that you will be back in a Vette soon...or better yet, hit the lottery so you don't need to sell your Vette.

Well durn Leadfoot! Sorry to see you go.

Why don't you just buy yourself something like an 80 Vette? They're pretty cheap and hell, you gotta drive SOMETHING.

Sorry to hear that. But I'll bet you'll be back in one sooner than you think - always seems to work out that way.

Take care of you and your's and my best wishes go out to you.

Good luck... hope you get another one soon, and hanging out here only requires loving vettes, not owning them.

Sorry for your situation, Ryan. I know that is one thing I always fear. It can happen to anyone at any time.

Hope you'll hang around here though. Things will turn around for you. Maybe there will be a bright shiny new baby waiting for you just around the corner.

Good luck!
