it was time I truly was tired of the vette . I have been talking about it for 3 years not something I just did with out any thought . thats why I went with a car I really like and am very happy driving , it has all the toys . and it goes pretty darn good no vette but I say it is equal to the gxp . one day there will be another vette for now i'm very happy

You do what is right for you - no criticism here. How about a pic of the new car. Looking to see if Buick actually makes the GN this next model year.

To non-Corvette people, getting tired of a beautiful Corvette doesn't always seem like it makes sense. I traded my show quality 02 C5 for a pickup truck and later asked myself if there couldn't have been another way. But at the time, it was the right decision. Besides, I love the Buick GS...wish I had one, but I'm not tired of my Vette...yet!

Sad to see that you lost interest in your Vette buddy and that you are vetteless now.

BUT, you did what you felt would make you happiest, and that's all that matters b/c it your decision, and only yours.

Good luck with the new Buick GS, NICE car.

I take it you traded in your Vette to the dealer?
