Goodbye, old friend...

I guess all good things come to an end.

I traded in my beloved Lady of Steel a little over a month ago and got the car I have always wanted since I was a small boy. My new baby...











I may not have my 8 anymore, but I'll always have a place in my heart for that crazy little car!

Thanks!

Congrats on the new ride. The Vette is a sweet car. Don't forget to pop in every now and then and say hello.

Now, who's the girl?!

I approve.
As if that matters, but just so you can sleep better at night; Beagle approves of the Corvette.
If you had bought many other cars, we would have to pick on you and tell you how crazy you are for getting rid of the RX8. But this was a good move.

Thanks mate.

LOL, the girl was from Streetrenz magazine and was at the AudioJam car show here in Delaware this weekend. I may have had my 'Vette there, but I still came with and represented my beloved Tri-State Rotary Club family. Pat's legendary Shinka won best RX-8, and the TRC won Best Club for the second year in a row!

Torgue...its a myth or legend. Much like lepricons, the "g" spot, or William Shatner!
The car however is sweet. Its nice to see an upgrade not just a different switch.

LOL, yeah, I'd forgotten what it's liked to have your eyeballs smashed to the back of your skull when you hit the gas. I went easy on the car the first few days I had it, just to get used to it and such. It's a completely different animal from the 8, that's for damn sure.

You're right, sorry about the comment. My co-worker upon seeing that picture made a farting sound, thus spawning the picture.

I actually have no problem with the corvette, I love 'em! Congrats on the purchase, no hard feelings...i wasn't trying to insult you.

No worries bro, it was a misunderstanding on my part.
