Default Coming back

Just wanted to say hello to my fellow Vette owners. Sold my 01 coupe and picked up my 07 Conv/6 speed with the paddles. So far so good. Originally signed onto to the forum in Sept 2000 and I can see how much it has changed. I have been on and off since then. Lost my daughter to Cancer in 05 and that put a huge dent in everything my family did. But we are back loving the car and the forum. I am looking for a cordless detector at a good price. Ecklers does not sell them/mid america does but the price is high. Again, nice to be back on the forum.

Welcome back & Good luck w/ the new ride. If you check out my sig, you'll see that I've done the same thing. My car should be here next week and I can't wait for it. I've already had some mod parts delivered.

I am really sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine what you've gone through. I'm sure your daughter is smiling as she watches you enjoy your new vette.

Looking forward to seeing you on the forum again and also seeing your pics.

Just wanted to say thanks on behalf of my family. Your warm welcome is comforting to us at a very tough time. I lost 7 fellow officers in Miami when I was a Sergeant. To lose a daughter is real tough. We will not fortget you all. Of course, drivel safely and always have a good attitude when the "man" stops you~

Welcome back. Congrats on the purchase of the C6. Here's to many miles of smiles. My condolences on your loss and here's to hoping that your extended Corvette family here on the forum will get you through.
