Default End of an era

Well it's been a great ride fellas. I sold my 2008 Z06 a couple of weeks ago to a awesome dude in Oregon goes by the name of Hackster on the forum. I just loaded her up on a transporter to ship her across the country. This car will be missed and I hope it gives the new owner many years of enjoyment! Thank for all the advise and info over the years. I will still be lurking on the Forum and probably some day be back. Cheers!

It was pretty tough but the reality of it is I didn't drive it. I put 133 miles on it last year. I decided that if I was going to sell now would be the time with values pretty much at their peaks. Also the car is going to a true car enthusiast and will be joining some worthy stable mates when it arrives in Oregon. It will be in good hands. I am also selling my daily driver F150 to my nephew and yesterday I secured my new daily/sporty fun car. I picked up a 2022 Audi RS5 as the daily. It's not here yet as I am waiting on shipping but now I will have a practical performance oriented car. Don't hate me!

That was one of the nicest looking Zs on the forum. Well done. Hope the new guy gives it a good home.

I can relate to this. I got my Z06 with an eye toward DD/track use. But I can't get it in my office driveway! And it's really too wide and low and a 3mi commute is just a shame...
So I DD a Mk7 Golf R stg2.
And take the Z06 to as many track days as I can manage.

Nice!

I have an RS3 because I wanted a car that responded to mods better, but the RS5 IMO is the best looking in the lineup.

I agree. It's something about the lines of the sportback for me.

Hey 03BlkZ - I’m a good friend of Hackster’s and a common lurker on the site. Rest assured, your car went to someone that lives and breaths cars, she’ll be well taken care of. Your old Z will be spending a bunch of time with this car, my 09 ZR1, which interestingly enough came from Texas as well a couple of years ago.

You planning on modding it at all or leaving it stock?

I will be keeping it stock for now. It will be my new daily for a while. Maybe once warranty runs out i will mod. Or maybe a resonator delete to spice up the exhaust a bit.
