Default Sold the C6

Probably not appropriate for this forum, but this is where I hang out.

I traded my C6 coupe in yesterday --- needed an AWD vehicle, and got an Infiniti G37x coupe. It's a nice ride, just not a Vette.

I still plan to lurk, post some opinionated opinions every now and then. Won't be the same without a real Vette of my own.

Maybe down the road I'll convince my bride to take the Infiniti, and I can get a C7. Until then....

Sorry for your lost man.

Things happen for a reason. On the other hand sometimes $hit happens. Enjoy your new car.

Glad you are finally able to sell it.

Enjoy the Infinity. I like the G37 coupe. Had no idea it came in AWD.

I remember all the cars in the past but never once did i miss a prior one after its replacement was in place. You will have lots of great cars down the road.

The cool thing is they get better and better as you get older.

LOL! I've been bugging my wife to sell her Toyota Solara and get an AWD car, but she likes to drive a car into the ground, then she always seems to find a buyer through work, or a personal acquaintance. She's got another 50K miles to go before she will start thinking about it.

My company is relocating my office, with a longer commute. My wife and I will end up working a few blocks apart. When it snows, we can ride to work together. Now, when it snows we both have to work at home, and share our high-speed internet connection in a cramped home office. Not good.

I'm hoping she'll fall in love with the Infiniti, then she can start driving it, and I can get an LS3.

Married life........
