Goodbye, Im moving on
Well, I too sold my 8. She went to a good home and the new owner had already registered on here befor he picked up the car. Below is my new ride. The 8 was fun, but this car puts a stupid looking grin on my face from ear to ear.
BTW, for fans of the "Hot wives/girlfriends" thread, Ill be sure to post any new pics of Missy with the Vette here as well.

c5 vette's with 40-50k around here go for $20,000. Cheap for the amount of performance you get. I would get one, but I don't want to look like a douchebag driving that in to work making the same amount of money as my co-workers who are driving civics.

Yeah, I seen that. Congrats on the C6! They are still a ways out of my price range. My theory is a Vette is similar to an 8, but with power to spare. The Corvette has a near 50/50 balance, due to a transaxle design. The biggest thing for me is the sound. Mine has dual exhaust with an H pipe and no mufflers.
And the kicker is....................................I AVERAGED 31.2 MPG on the highway at 70 mph!!!

Very nice lotus! I used to work near the lotus plant in Scottsdale Arizona and got to drive by and see them outside parked all the time. We have a few of them that frequent the SCCA autocross locally in Phoenix as well.
I love the color too.

I believe the new owners name is Nick. He actually lives a few miles from me around Rochelle I think. No K&N stickers on my car though. I also gave him an OEM spoiler I had for the car that I never put on, so it might be sporting that now.
Ill have the ne car out at Hooters this Sunday hopefully.
