Default I'm back...

I felt like I had to sell my 06 Machine Silver Vette a few years back...really missed it...so I sold my pickup truck and my Mini Cooper and bought this super low mileage 2005 beauty! New wheels as of this morning, Z06 competition brakes, K&N cold air, CORSA Exhaust, short throw shifter, various cosmetic interior and exterior stuff...done. Sound system and tint yet to come. I feel at home in a Vette

I was thinking yesterday morning on the way to work "If I was to sell my Corvette would I ever be happy with another car". I've had a Camaro Z28 almost all of my life but for a short time when the had no HP, and I soon bought another because I missed it. So I really cannot imagine me being with a Corvette in my garage ever, I am screwed.

Welcome back, you missed us? Oh no you missed the car.

Welcome back. I sold my z06 and thought I could do without a vette. I thought I could get bye with an fbody. Bought a 2002 white ws6 trans am with 10 thousand miles. I sold the ws6 two weeks later and got a grand sport. Nothing like owning a vette.

Thanks everyone for the welcome's...much appreciated. I tried the new Camaro SS (don't get me started). I've lost 60 lbs and had knee replaced. Those two things kept me out of my Vette. I've had: 72, 84, 90, 98, 2002, 2006 and this 2005. I'm home, I deserve it cuz I worked hard to get back in my Vette...and I love it. Just a couple more little things to do to make it "mine". Cheers, Bear

I'm happy for ya!

Those wheels, and red calipers, make a perfect match and contrast, against the body color.

Very nice!

I drive my vette everyday, yes even in the mid-west winters, with snow tires all around. I simply don't like driving anything else!
