Default Goodbye and Thank You CF Forum

Thank you everyone for your help over te past few years. I have been a member of many car forums but this one is certainly te best. Last Friday I traded in my Corvette. Yesterday Morning I actually saw someone driving her. they got a great car, with full on COW tuning and some other goodies. I really had no intention of selling her, but life changed.
In December of last year I bought out my company, and in July a big company bought me out! I ended up buying a 2013Panamera GTS, and then a ranch. For getting to and from the Ranch I bought a 2012 Raptor. I still work for the Company and use the Porsche for business meetings. The great thing about Vettes, if you ever sell them you get a very nice residual value. Over Four years I paid approx. 10k between tires, brakes, tunes/CAI and trade differential. Very impressive resale with only 35.8k miles on the clock. I am sure I will be back in a Vette someday, likely a C7. But for now it is a 6.2L SVT pushrod, and A 4.8L DOHC German Witch. Amazingly the performance of the later when tied to AWD is unbelievably close to my Vette despite nearly double the weight. No doubt I will miss the sound of cranking the Vette up, though I can't describe the beauty of the rumble of the Porsche downshift. Thanks again to everyone, I will still come by here from time to time to check out the latest and greatest. It has been a blessed few years for me, and I can only wishthe same for the Forum and all of it's members. All the Best!

cool and good for you. sounds like you still drive great cars and are living it up. nothing wrong with that. Yes the vette really does hold its value quite well.
