Default Vetteless

Well, I got rid of the vette today (more or less forced too)...traded it for an 06 Charger Daytona R/T Bananna yellow.... The Vette was just to hard on my body, I've got a really bad back and was just recently put on temporary Disability so the Vette had to go.... The Daytona is really nice, has a lot of more options then the Vette I had, DVD, navigation plus the wife and kids like it better, go figure.... thanks for everyones input... I'm sure Ill check in now and again....

Mike

Default Recent back pain or long term?

The reason I ask is I broke mine in several places had it fused 3 times and the corvette is literally the most comfortable car for my lower back that I have owned.

I was stunned I have to admit I wanted a Vette so long and kept putting it off I thought I was too tall and the Corvette would hurt the back. I finally decided to suck it up. REALLY glad I did. I was able to get my dream car AND it is perfect positioning for my back. I can drive it longer than any vehcile I have owned the last 15 years.

I hope your back gets better and it works out well for you. The Dodge is an awesome car I hope you have lots of enjoyment.

I had a jetski accident in 2001 at the time I didn't think it was all that major... But since then I've developed arthritis and a disc that is deteriorating... I'm 36 and I feel as though my body is about 70. Went for my 2nd injection today and have another next week, basically their going in to cauterize nerve endings. The Doc told me I would really never be %100 ever again and try to stay away from any strenuous activities. Mine doesn't sound as bad as yours but damn does it hurt.... Being 6'4" @ 270# doesn't help any and I"m not really fat (at least I don't think so...If I am fat I sure do make it look good
