Very sorry to hear Len.

You can still hang out, especially in CFOT. Apparently most there don't have vettes and love the stangs. It'll be like home.

So sorry to read this post Len. I guess it could be worse (how I don't know, but I guess it could be). $22k sounds light to me. But as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I'm sure we'll see you around. Keep in touch. I'm very much afraid of anything larger than a possum/raccoon myself. Why can't the states keep the deer off the roadways (fencing or whatever)? God bless ya Len.

Sorry to hear about the vette, glad you are OK
No, you're not going anywhere.
While vettes rule, it's about the people not the cars.
See you at breakfast but you'll have to bring up the rear with Gary when we cruise!

Sorry to hear of your misfortune because we all know how much you loved that car. But it was just a car. Happy that you weren't seriously hurt. See you soon!

Sory to hear about your mishap. Just glad you are OK. I hope you still come with us when we do things. I can always bring my Camaro SS to make you feel more at home. You should have bought a Camaro SS. They have almost as much power as the Corvette. Your mishap reminds me of when we were on our way to Bowling Green a few years ago. Just missed a dear doing 100 MPH. That would have been bad. Don't forget, you can't desert us us now.

That, or the new 2011 mustang GT has over 400 hp if you want to stay with the stang - it's "only" about $30k base price. How much was the 2010?
