Sad, but happy

Just sold my 2007 VY convertible! My 2016 comes off the line tomorrow, so I should be going nuts. The c6 was best,trouble free vette I had owned, I'm already missing it. Now the wait to see when Gm will release the cars and tell me how much it's going to cost me!!

You made a huge mistake! Just kidding

Once you drive the C7 you'll forget all about the other one. Congrats on the 2016

You won't miss that 2007 once you get your new C7.

You'll love your C7. I'm sure you'll have a special place for your '07, but this car is off the hook!

I sold my Top Flight 64 Coupe, keeping my 427 Vert and my Z51 Coupe comes off the line on Friday.

Remember, you never have enough garage space and never too many Vettes!!!!

Could be worse. At least the C6 didn't take half your stuff when she left

The bright spot is that we had more rain during that time than ever in North Texas, so she would have just been sitting in the garage gathering dust anyway.

I love my C7 and so far it is perfect. I hope it stays that way.

First drive in your C7 and all that sadness will disappear.

It's like breaking up with the captain of the girls lacrosse team and dating the head cheerleader....

One is sturdy and familiar....

The other is a better ride that you want your friends to see you in....
