Default Good Bye Corvette Forum!!!
I had my C5 Z06 for a little over 2 years, and loved every moment of it. I may be moving later next year to NH, and I needed a car that could do all weather conditions. Also the fact that the Z06 as an only car was a little impractical

I went back to the car I had before the Vette and got another Mitsubishi Evo. I know lots of you guys will hate, but its ok they are so much fun to drive!!! great steering(and steering wheel-momo), seats(recaro), turbo..... just a fun little car!

but anyhow, I had a great time here, and will miss my Vette, maybe in a few years, after the move and i have a house, Ill pick up a C6Z


and one of the new car, 2003 13k miles. very clean.

Better go buy a jacket, it looks pretty warm where you are and NH can get REALLY cold.

(I lived there for close to 12 yrs)

Geetings from NH. My vette hibernates all winter, but it sure is a blast for 6 months out of the year. Nice looking Evo.

Im definitely moving, just not sure on the exact date, and I wanted to put the car up for sale sooner than later, because I knew the market was tough.. i had it up for sale for over 3 months, and had nothing but LOW *****... it was terrible

In the mean time, have fun!
