Default I sold the 95 Vette :(

I sold the vette Today. Sad to see it go, it was a fun car and my plan with it worked out perfect! I started with $1700 upfront and a couple payments to a buddy. I now Have $5000 Cash and 0 payments !
Now I need to find a decent truck and get back to work on the WS6 !!!!!
Im thinking McLeod Street Twin real soon!!! Things are looking good for the Shootout!!!! Plan is working out!

Yup!^^ I was a kick *** car but they ride like a brick compared to an F-body. Everyone wants to own a Vette once and I knew I could make money on it.

OK so minus money put into it, what did you technically make off it? No cryptic "I had payments to a buddy etc etc", just I made $6K off it (IE you'd have sold it for like $10K then since you paid around $4K for it).

LOL! ^^ What happened?
The vette needed some body work and Had a 177k ran fine but could of used shocks all around. Im not out to **** anyone so I thought 5k was a fair price for it. I made 1000 myself but really just wanted to get my money back in full. So Im happy. Looking at a 98 cherokee v8 for 3k. That will pull sleds in the winter and my car to the shootout. and leave money for my Mcleod street twin and gas for a month.
