Default Sad day!!!!

Well, the time had come and I let the vette go today. I needed something with a couple more seats and that I could put some miles on for work. I didn't want to do that to the vette and at 67k miles she had plenty left for someone else to enjoy! I picked this up as a daily for now and will definitely been back in an LSX based car as soon as possible. Of course the mod bug in already biting, but I must resist!!

You will regret it down the road. I had to make the same choice due to work and sold my trans am for a grand prix..It didn't hit me at first but several months later it starts to settle in and you miss the horsepower.

I really regretted selling my '94 back in '99 but I had to so I could afford an engagement ring and honeymoon. Having said that I'll probably never own another vette. Its more of a "been there, done that" thing. I still love Corvettes (pretty much all the years), but there's other cars I'd rather own right now simply because they are more practical...

You traded your Vette for something with an extra two midget seats in the back? Anyways, sorry to hear that your Vette had to be let go. Is that a 320 or 430?

Those are nice. I was actually thinking about getting one to daily drive instead of an fbody.

Why didnt you just keep the vette and buy a cheap daily?

You'll be back, they always come back to the LSX.

I traded my 99 Z28 for a 07 C230, I don't miss the Z at all and I love the Benz. Takes alittle while to get used to the lack of power but the Benz is so much nicer than the Chevrolet you can't even compare them. In my case I have one of the fastest N20 T/A's in the country so I don't miss the Z at all.

It's a 430 and I picked it up for $12k with 73k on the clock. My intention is to pay this off in a hurry and then get another toy. I didn't keep the vette, because I still had payments on it.

Blake is gonna love that car!
