Default Goodbye friends

Well my friends the time has come to say goodbye, it looks like I will be selling my vette. It is not a need to sell thing, but I was at the point of either install the 10k+ of parts and never get rid of the car, or sell everything off. I went with the second option, and will likely be getting a RCSB silverado to replace it. Don't worry, it will have a tc 78 turbo and likely a t56 6 speed after I sell off all of my vette parts. I decided that I would sell the vette, build a truck for a dd, and then in a year or 2 buy a new c6 vert. I think that it is a step in the right direction for me, and now I can take my 2 labs to the beach with me.

Thanks for the good times, and lookout for my new setup to be terrorizing the streets of NC and South FL.

John B.

Funny you should mention that, I actually have been reconsidering that after watching parish's street vids. I am now looking for a awd silverado ss, or a z 71 rcsb. And BTW congrats on your numbers again jamie, I will have to get in touch when I come down to weston this winter and check out the storm trooper.
