well...it finally happened. corvette has been sold.

it's all kind'of a blur, but from what i remember my immediate reaction was something like this.



i took some farewell pics before it broke free from my kungfu grip. this sucks, and i'm pissed.





















on a brighter note, my tires will be here monday and my wheels should be here the following week if production is still on schedule...

Dang...sorry to see the vette go. But I'm sure you had a good reason for selling .
PS:
Great update, car is looking SMOKING hot. You can lower a bit more overall, looks like you have the tire clearance, but you definitely don't need to. The decal on the brake light...not my thing but then again, I don't do stickers (advertising) on the car at all...

Window spoiler looks cool as heck.

Sorry it made you cry. I bet Mom feels a little better, though.
What does your schedule look like for this weekend? Saturday looks good for me. Sunday is filled with Soccer Tournaments.
On another note, I may ride up to hang with the Harrisburg guys Sunday evening/night, if you're interested.

yeah i was sooper sad to see it go...but we could use the money, so what're you gonna do?

i'm going to make sure the height is dialed in perfectly when i get my new wheels/tires put on.

murph145 is letting me use his megan spanner wrenches so that i can adjust everything. i love these connections we make on this forum. here's a guy who lives across the world from me and he's doing me a huge favor just bc we share a common interest. azine rocks.

Yes it does!

The Vette looked good but I'm sure it's going to a good home. Looking forward to seeing the new shoes
