Looks like the Z and all my Vette stuff may be headed to Canada sometime soon, trying to finalize some details.
Probably be pretty scarce afterwards, not real happy about it. Will miss the car but I wont miss having debt and plan on getting a lot more accomplished not sitting in front of a computer which owning a Vette almost requires. Bittersweet is an understatement. I sent a pm to have my username deleted over "there" . |

Sorry Mike, didnt have an answer on the filter being as it was new. Has to be a 1)crack in a manifold, hole in a grid or the D.E. is slippping by an Oring where the assembly mounts into.

Having you as an accomplice has been a pleasure. I will miss your commentary on the boards. All things must pass so I know when one door closes another opens and other neat cliches apply.

I'll have to let you take my vette for a spin when the new engine is installed.

Well, I'm happy for you that the Z is sold, but I don't think you'll be going anywhere
 You can't get away from this place - it's like a black hole that sucks you back in. Besides, who am I going to send my heads to in like 3 years when I finally get around to taking them off for the port jobMatthew |

Car/spare motor sold for full price no questions asked.
Nothing has hit the bank YET so nothings final til the fat lady sings ... I have mixed feelings all the way around about it. Getting completely out of debt and not having one more car to think about will be a mental weight lifted from me is all I can say right now. At this point in life less is more...Used to be the more the better.I want a house. Matatk, Ill still be around...Made too many friends here. Porting...anytime thats a given .Youll see some stuff here real soon turning up on the forums..A nasty 408 dressed as a as stock LT1 (smoothed and painted MR) down to the fuel rail covers and some 113 heads/TPI intake getting worked over for another member....If I can ever get off this friggin computer. Ugh. |

Sheesh! Its a good lookin car and the new owner will be happy. Financially that car can clean you out if something simple like a water pump or alt goes.
At least I had the pleasure to see and drive it once. As far as dropping off the screen here goes, I cant believe you'll disappear all together. Whos gonna take care of Andys cars if your gone? Lord knows he cant do it alone  |

Mike, decided not to get the C3. I have a hard time fitting into them. THe car turned out to be a 15 footer, not intersted in something that needs work.
Job...questionable. I got tossed for being late once and they are bringing me back for academy#2 Mon. Now if they could only remember they were supposed to pay me. LOL If it doesnt work out this time Im pakcing it in and leaving Ca. |

Well, I hope it all works out for you, whatever you decide. I'm kinda saddened by your decision though. I know I don't have much of a chance to travel the US to see everyone, but you were one of the guys I hoped to meet someday. Can't really explain why.
 Take care, and hopefully you'll still be around, at least a little.  |

Guess our Governator signed that new bill today-state employees take it in the butt til a new budget is done.
Looks like my new job (and all state employees) will pay minimum wage for awhile. Fantastic. LMAO! HOLY crap. |

Awhile is probably going to be a few weeks at most. And they'll pay back the withheld funds when the budget passes. I don't get what that accomplishes though, just spends less of this years budget and more of next years, plus administrative costs of implementing it. |

Ron, I guess you'll have to sell it to me at a deeply discounted price so that you can stay afloat. I'll even buy you a plane ticket home after you drive out here to drop it off. I'm just that kind of nice guy.

The sad reality is that the ZR1 is NOT a collector car.
It is an exotic that people percieve as being expensive to care for. To a degree, that's correct, but it is not yet old enough to reach collectors status. It may not, either, because it is part of a less than desireable corvette generation. The C3, from a styling perspective was a tough act to follow, but the C4 did it with grace and an element of elegance, not outright flash. Will the C4 (and as an extension, the ZR1) catch the wave? Only time will tell. |
