Not at all Joe. New England is beautiful, but family illness requires I return to Pa. Other factors as well, primarily financial. Very expensive here, and because I travel for a living, it is a financial burden to be here. I will still be back once a month or so to spend some time in the Lawrence office. I will not miss the bullshit traffic on 93 though.
'93 is BS. I actually have to take '93 to 495 every morning as I live in NH but work in middlesex county, mass. 45 minutes each direction.

I made the same post on CF and said the same thing there. They can bust my balls all they want, ain't gonna change my mind. Although I am a huge fan of any vette (especially the c4) It is just a car. I already own the drivetrain for it, so I am convinced I can build a nice one for 10K or less with 7-8K as a target budget. Ultimately, it is me I aim to please. You and I share alot of the same opinions.
I love Corvettes. If I had the money (which I don't) I'd have a C5 as a daily driver, and a C3 for a weekend/track car. The C4 became a bitter end for me just because it costs so much to get it where I want it and I still wasn't happy. It's an exotic car thing. Do you really think it costs ecklers $250 to make C4 door panels, where classic industries can make door panels for an fbody for $50 ? Paying for a name became too expensive for me.
I'm still thinking about the '67 firebird. The one I looked at a month ago is still for sale. The only thing holding me back is the builder is dead, and I'm not sure how "well" the welding job was on the 9" install and back hauled frame.
