TOPGON Back to Vettes (again)

Hi TX Fanatics
Just wanted to let you know Mike Byers forced me to trade my SSR in for a Vette today. Enjoyed all the fun and will most likely be back

I'm sad to hear that you traded that beauty in but you know you're welcome here anytime. Greg said to tell you that is one of his favorite Rs ever. Enjoy your new ride.

Forced??????????????
Did he take the R and give you a Vette + Cash

hope you have fun and will not be a stranger. Maybe your next R will be an addition instead of a replacement.

About your new vett Jay said they only made 44 pace vettes with a black top. The rest all had GRAY tops.

First Mike Byers says he needs more space from the SSR's than he makes you sell yours..? I'm beginning to wonder about him

My bride, the lovely Blueeyes, traded in her Vette to get the SSR!! Now, there's a woman who got her priorities right (except for keeping me around).

Double checked my files Mike and it was the last 44 that got the Black tops--the other convertibles got the Gray cloth variety.

Bill, sorry to see you sell your R but enjoy that Vette! Check your PMs for some info I think you'll find interesting.

I hope you enjoy the new Vette Bill, it was a privilege to meet you and work on your SSR. I hope it goes to an owner who can appreciate all the love you put into it, it is an incredible paint job and customization.

Wait a minute folks. Why can't you have both? My 'new' acquisition is my 05 Aquablur SSR that I bougth in April 09 - my slightly older vehicle - is a 08 Harley Screaming Eagle Ultra and our 'oldest' toy - is our 07 Atomic Orange C6 Corvette. We also have an 08 Escalade for hauling more than two people around at a time - but this just goes to prove that you can stuff a lot of toys in a three car garage! I'd just like to know how to squeeze in another R? Covenants and a tiny lot keep me from adding more garage stalls...so what's a fella to do???

I love the Atomlic Orange on your 07 vette...I wanted that color, but wound up with Artic White on my 08 Vette.....it was a choice between Artic White and Crystal Red Metallic (that I didn't like).

There is nothing wrong with Artic White, have owned two Vettes that color.

Garage ceiling is too low for a stacker - great idea though.

WELL THEN THAT LEAVES YOU WITH FOUR OPTIONS.
1. RAISE THE ROOF....MAYBE
2. BUY A BIGGER HOME WITH A LARGER GARAGE......MAYBE
3. SELL A CAR.......NO
4. BRING THE SSR TO ME AND ILL KEEP IT FOR YOU.....YES....

who said you had to go up? Why not put in an underground stacker ... plenty of room to dig before you find oil.
