bittersweet day for me

[baddest434]

:cry: just watched my car pull away! it's headed to california. 12 years of building and playing with the car has come to an end. the buyer drove out here from cali and now he's on his way home now. i thought my car would end up locally and i'd be able to see her again but it did'nt work out that way. i must say that i now have the largest stack of hundred dollar bills i've ever seen :lol:

oh well time for another toy!!

[Blacdout96]

hey, share the wealth :lol:

[BonzoHansen]

Bill, there is a saying almost as old as you: You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life. The facts of life.

[The Fixer]

Congrats Bill! Now use that $$ to buy my Monte - you know you wanna. :)






j/k buddy, congrats again!! Hope she went to a good home!

Hot link owned ^

[Blackbirdws6]

Wow...never thought I would see you sell the car even though you spoke about it enough. If you are having a tough time carrying around all those hundreds, let me know and I can assist for a for small fee.

What toy do you have your eye on?

[baddest434]

:rofl: boy rough crowd here. :lol:

brian i have my eyes on a 2008 vette w/2985 miles on it. price is a little steep but i'm working on them. who knows.

my garage has a hollow feeling :cry:

[CHRIS67]

Now what are we going to do for wheelstand car of the month picks? Quick someone put a lot of bricks in their trunk! :lol:

Sorry you had to loose her bro.

[transmaro93]

sorry to see her go bill, but im sure youll fill the void adn then some... on a side note we went out for lunch today i was wondering why i seen your car being towed down brick boulevard by a dodge truck and not your chevy... either way hope you made out good in the deal because that car was really really nice...

[deadtrend1]

.......

my garage has a hollow feeling :cry:

I can help you out with that if you want :nod:

[mc73nova]

Sorry to hear that but if you're happy and have a pocket full of money, there isnt much to be upset about! I completely understand what you are doing, especially if you are aiming for an 08 Vette. I hate looking at all that money sitting in my trailer and not being able to drive it. If I could do it all over, I would have made mine a street car for sure(or just bought one). Good luck with your search and keep us updated.

Greaaaat...now I have to look forward to you and Jon talking about Vettes and how great they are.

Jk, I've driven plenty of C5s and a few C6s. Great cars and a lot of fun to drive. Good luck!

[BigAls87Z28]

I remember when it was a street car, and bill was on the southside of the century mark.

Good luck with any future car man. Now you need to turn into an arrogant prick, buy a Corvette jacket and buy the tackiest exterior mods you can find. :D

Yeah, this place is full of arrogant pricks anymore! :wink: I find it amazing how many people still drive across the country with a wad of cash. The guy from TX who bought my 70 SS396 showed up with cash! :shock:

I would have asked for him to place all that cash in a suitcase....just for S&G

[sweetbmxrider]

nah, a spurred cowboy boot woulda been bettaaaa

[3.4 grape of wrath]

You did what? :shock: Now you have an excuse to go to Callyfornia (as Arnold would say).:nod: I hope she/he doesn't end up in San Fran.:moon:

[baddest434]

I find it amazing how many people still drive across the country with a wad of cash.

this guy brought a certified check. found out that it would still take a week before the money was available for me. so he went and found a branch that he has an account with and came back with the cash.

i sure wouldn't drive across country with that kinda cash on me.

he needs to dragonize it :lol:

And if Bill become and arrogant prick like most corvette owners, Ill just push his wheelchair off a short pier.

[baddest434]

lol don't worry about me becoming an arrogant prick. i may step away from the vette because their pretty stern on their price. $38,500 is where their at. so i'll wait it out a little while and see if they budge. if someone else buys it..oh well theres plenty more cars to look into.

[r0nin89]

So the new goal is 9s in a street car right :D Do I hear top end kit and mp122 on the c6? :):):)

I had always hoped to see that car in person one day but hell ya gotta move on.

[Blacdout96]

Where you looking to get a Vette at? is taht from kerbeck?

[baddest434]

this is the ride i'm looking at. they droppped the price a little but not enough for me yet.

[maroman88]

[Tru2Chevy]

I don't know how much better you are going to find on one with less than 3,000 miles on it.

[maroman88]

[deadtrend1]

[baddest434]

you trading the truck in on it at all?

thinking of using it for a trade yes.

[bad64chevelle]

Bill, glad to see everything went well and hopefully the car continues to be used as you intended for it.

I know of a Chevelle that would love a new home...:-)
Good luck with whatever you purchase.
