Default she's gone

well... a guy showed up last night and handed me $16k in cash for the ss. it was hard to watch it go but we're buying a charger shortly, and a z06 as soon as the other 2 cars are gone.

with as much as the old lady and i talked about how responsibly we were going to handle this money, we went out and bought a 50" plasma last night no more of that though, we're paying off just about everything we owe on.

the last pics:

oh yeah we love them. the lt1 wasn't something we were looking to buy, it was just a deal we stumbled across and couldn't pass up.
i've wanted a z06 since forever, and we really need to have a daily driver with a functional backseat so... it's just how it goes i guess.
i have no emotional tie to the 94, and very little to the b4c because they've both been so short term. i had the ss since new though and i still cringe when i picture the empty spot in the garage.

Man, I hate to hear someone is letting go of their SS but, if you have to, at least it's worth the loss. The only way I would let go of my SS is if I were replacing it with a C6 Z06 but… even then I have to think about it! Can't wait to see the Z06!!
