Hey folks,

Just wanted to let you know I've left the world of Corvette ownership to get back in to a truck and travel trailer. It wont be forever, give me 4, 5 or 6 years, max, and I'll be back in a Vette. Thanks everyone for the fun, information, ribbing etc etc... I'll be checking in here now and again, if only to keep tabs on whats happening

If anyone is looking for a slightly used C6 Vert, check out Seaview in Lynnwood. Only 6500 miles

There's more to life than gas/fuel mileage.

Good luck!

Best of luck to you from Manchester. There's not much we can do about fuel prices....adjust the budget, and press forward. Have fun.
