Default I'm back

So I'm back on the forum to get back in the mix..! I've had 3 vettes in the past.. All C6, one 05 vert, and an 07, then 08 C6 Z06.. Unfortunately I got hit with the down turn of the market etc had to start over and hope to get a C7 in the future here you guys must love the C7.. Congrats to you all and wish me luck on getting one in the future.. I'm in San Diego now so a fresh start and new location..

I Had to sell my C6 Z06 and haven't been on here In a long time as I missed my vette so much it was hard to keep on the site as all it would do is make me miss my vette.. Well I'm back!!😄 here to get back in the forum!! All the best to you guys!!

That's what it takes to make it. Ambition, drive, vision, determination.

You will do well

Your C7 is scheduled to be built any day now.

Some of the headlines today USAToday, Wall Street Journal:

Home sales soar
Auto sales boom
Middle skills jobs boom across CA
CA home building surge
Construction hiring is surging

Yes I know, also today...stocks are down sharply lower after global sell-off, oil rout.

Welcome back to the forum, hopefully you will be back to owning a Corvette soon. In the meantime, if you are ever in the Ft Worth area give me a shout and you can take my C7 out for a long drive.

Winners fail as much as 99% of the time. Difference is they go back for that 1% success. You'll do it!
