A fond and affectionate farewell...

Hello my friends.

I want to start off by apologizing for not being around here so much...a lot of things have happened the past 7 months that have needed my attention elsewhere.

Anyways, I just wanted to say goodbye to all of you in the Tri-State Rotary Club, as I can't be an "official" member anymore.

I no longer have the RX-8. While I loved that car, I finally was able to get the car I always wanted, and I was not able to keep both, unfortunately.

Here is Shadowfax, my new 2008 Corvette C6.








I just wanted to say that I have never met a finer, more amazing group of people than all of you. I hope that when there is a meet or a gathering, I can still pop by and say hello.

Take care, all of you.

Dean

There's no need to apologize. I would totally do the same and ditch my 8 for the Vette.

That's not a Z06.

Nice upgrade. And some of us stick around even when we sell our 8's.

Good luck, dingrao. It's kind of sad, but I think little by little a lot of us club members will start falling by the wayside. You're right, though, it is a great group of guys and girls!

LOL, I wish it was the Z06 mate! It's just the standard C6 model, but I love it all the same.

Thanks for the kind words Clav.

I'd love to stick around, you people rock!

Chris, I traded in the 8 with the mods, actually got a little more for it, lol.

The mods on the 'Vette are coming later this year, for sure.
