Big hello to everybody. For those who don't know or remember me I owned a red '04 coupe and traded it for a red '06 Corvette back around Christmas. I enjoyed the XF immensely but I've been a Corvette guy forever. If I could have kept both I would have.

I drive the Vette about as much as I did the XF. I like the HP in the Vette over the XF and some of the gadgets are cool but I can tell you first hand the ride in of the XF is more refined. I get about the same gas mileage around 30 mpg but in the city the mileage drops in the Vette considerably.

Medical update. I have been clear of cancer, NHL, for one year now. I just had my last checkup and all is good. I had a stem cell transplant and its been one hell of a battle! I did something I haven't done in three years... DRANK A BEER ummm it was good.

I hope all of you are doing well and if you see a red C6 Corvette with Georgia plates... wave for goodness sake!

 

Wayne, it's great to hear from you, and I couldn't be happier for ya upon hearing the good medical update.
Keep enjoying that Vette, and remember you're always among friends around here.

Mike

 

Wayne that's great news glad to hear... feel free to join us anytime.

 

Wayne,

If you never give up and never give in - you will never lose.

Enjoy your ride - but most all - enjoy life!!

I wanted to post picture of a car my best friend in the world who passed away last year designed and built. I had the good fortune of working for him back in 1977 and we remained great friends for 29 years. The car was called the Diamante.

Enjoy MAN!!

 

I drive it almost daily. Sometimes I'll drive the truck if I know I have to get or transport something that won't fit into the Crossfire. 5,000 miles in about 2 months. The fun in having the car is in driving it. And I drive it hard all of the time. As soon as we hit 70k miles I'll dump it and get something else. I don't see the point in babying the car.
