Default Moratorium on C6 Talk

Wife and I just agreed to a moratorium on talking about C6 or any corvettes for the near term. I sold my C5 in Jan. to get some cash for an investment. With the agreement that once the investment matures and we cash out I can buy a C6 Convertible. The investment is going great. But, still no moolah. Probably late May. In the meantime I'm going wilikers and blabbing C6 this and C6 that. So, I'm driving the poor gal crazy I feel like the credit card commercial guy, Stanley, who says "Somebody help me.."

Just go for a test drive... That'll cure your thirst for while. Actually after driving it, you might wind up taking it home!

That's how I got my C5. I pulled into the dealer in my C4 to "test drive".
Drove it down the road 'bout a mile. Did a "U" turn, drove it back to the lot and bought it right there.
Unfortunately with the C6 I dont have the luxury of a spontaneous buy.
I'm just praying that when the time comes to buy it's not anti-climatic....

Reminds me of a tee shirt a Porsche friend used to wear:

"Porsches will get you through times without sex better than sex will get you through times without a Porsche!"

Hey Keith, Make it happen man, sell that property and get the new ride. Not enough changes to wait for '07 IMO. The Peninsula needs more Corvettes. As already posted we love C6 talk, so no need for a moratorium here.

Big Earl - Many thanks! I'm dying a slow death here. The property is up for sale and we've had a lot of interest - just no takers. I agree I dont need to wait for '07.

I have just pulled out of a Food Lion and headed towards a close proximity stop light. Do I have any company?
