Default See Ya!

Family needs have raised their heads in my life and I had to part company with my 08' Corvette last night. While I have no problem manning-up and letting go without regret, I really am going to miss that car. Owning the Corvette was a real gas and is the very best America Car-ever!

That said I will be back now and then to see what's up with the Corvette world-wish me luck as I have a difficult road ahead, but that too shall pass

Best of luck to you. Tough as it may be, family needs always have to come first before the toys. Hopefully you'll get it all sorted out and be back in the saddle before you know it.

Best of luck.

Honestly, as much as I love my vette, if I needed to get rid of it for family reasons, I would get rid of it in a heartbeat.

The car can be replaced, the family cannot.

I am sure many of us on this forum have made similar decisions. Hard but as you said, real men do what they have to do. Best of luck to you.

Best of luck to you! You have your priorities straight, that's for sure.

The good thing is A) you can always stay on here and B) just think of all the people who have not taken the plunge and owned a Corvette! You have!

I hope a Corvette is in your future but regardless, take care of yourself and your family. The Corvette will follow if it's meant to be.

Good luck!!

You did what a responsible family man would do. Of course, family is always first.

Hope to see you back in a vette really soon. Best of Luck to you and your family.
