Well, I haven't posted as much recently mainly because my life has become super busy and I don't have time to browse the forums like I used to.
Nor did I have time to enjoy the vette, and I am a firm believer that no car should spend its life hiding away in a garage.
Blame the lack of free time on my now six month old daughter Savannah :)
With the vette being used little, I put it up for sale. A friend recently took it off of my hands and that same evening I picked up my 2002 Bmw M3.
The car has all of the power that the vette did, sounds amazing, looks amazing, and its got a back seat for my daughter so she can enjoy daddy's car too!
I had been shopping for an M3 when I bought the vette a few years back, and while I loved the past few years I wish I had just bough the M3 then.
At the moment I haven't gone over the new toy very throughly, but It's got a Dixis Titanium exhaust thanks to the previous owner...$2500 I didn't have to spend! Otherwise it looks pretty stock.
The car was a bargain from a local BMW dealership because it needed some minor maintenance which didn't bother me a bit.
Anyway onto some pics....
Last day with the vette:

Aside from the needed maintenance, the first order or business was painting the rear bumper lower satin black

And finally just a few shots in the garage...proper photoshoot coming soon!
