Default Been thinking of...

I have been beating the idea to death the last few weeks and after being back on the forum browsing around and offering advice and knowing a lot of folks on here have to put their cars up during the Winter I have decided "Not to sell."







I do enjoy taking it out from time to time.

Was trying to lead the reader on.

I need to plan a road trip...been thinking of going down to Jacksonville and hanging out with a buddy of mine down there for a weekend. When...who knows, I drive trucks, so typically my weekends are full of "honey do's"

Come on down Gator! Let me know when. We have a decent group of Vette guys and we have a car event every Saturday night. Sounds fun!

My wife the Gator nut is out rooting against FSU as we speak - LOL!!!

If you sell it, you know you would want it back.

The only reason to sell a Vette, is to get a new one.

I am having a hard time saying this, but I am actually pulling for FSuckU to win. I am not a fan of a school with no schedule (In fact they have the easiest Strength of Schedule in the country) getting a BCS bid when there were so many better match-ups.

Great decision. That color is the only other color I would have bought if I hadn't found my AE Red.

I hear ya!...I travel for work so my seat time can be somewhat limited. More so when I lived up in CT. Now, there's stuff to do around the house and we just got a puppy.

If you get the opportunity for a shorter trip, MB isn't too far. There are three of us, along with a C4 and 2 C6's, in the same neighborhood.

Thanks for your service to our country. Navy Vet as well...MMC(SS)

Great looking ride!

If you sell it you just have to go out and get another one.

I need to drive up to MB also. I used to be there frequently as I went to Coastal and my grandparents lived in Murrells Inlet. Being a Navy Vet you may appreciate that my Navy Blue Metallic vert is the "Blue Angel." Named in tribute to service folks and the Navy town in which I have lived most of my life, Jax, FL, plus the C5's Jet like looks.

Where are you located at the beach?

I actually live just outside of the area over in Johnsonville. It is right off of 378 going West towards I-95. Only 40ish miles away if I come that way, if I go through Georgetown, it is more like 50ish miles and then I have to cruise through the Inlet.
