I have no reason to sell it, I looooooove it!!!!! The V8 is unbeatable, but at the same time I do miss my 6 speed. But anything else I do get will be a significant downgrade....thats why I cant bring myself to get it. Well it kbbs for 25k, but I had some guy wanting to give me 21k blackbook for it in Chicago. I told him sure...if you wanna give me black book on your car I will happily make the deal. AKA you lose 4k and I'll lose 4k ....he didnt like that comment, but it served him right for being a douchebox. He tried telling me that a rwd car wouldnt sell well in the winter....but isnt your car a rwd....with a 6 speed?! Figure that one out LOL....I had half a mind to tell him I do this shiz on a regular basis....It was pretty annoying. I would definitely miss it more than I do my old coupe, it was just a thought that crossed my mind. I tend to get a wild hair up my *** now and then. Thats why I struggle saving money

You have to be a dealer or pay for the service, its at http://www.blackbookusa.com/

But its basically to see what you could pickup or sell a vehicle for if it had to go to auction or trade to another dealer. Along with ove and some other stuff too.

I'll start putting something together soon, once the predictions are a little more favoring weather wise, ....and when I'll know exactly when my wheels will be in;-) LOL Might be kind of hard for the G to move @ ALL without any wheels to roll on...

I'm also in the mix of planning a bachelor party. Thinking about doing something Car related, and then something party related up here in the cities or up at a cabin up north. Would any of you be down for cruisin down to Wisconsin Dells for a weekend?? It'd be May 21st/22nd which is the weekend of Automotion(old school car meet) but the entire city gets taken over by modified cars for the entire weekend.

Also, I will be hitting up Dropfest this year over in Kaukauna, WI(by Appleton/GB area). It used to be scheduled the first weekend of June evvvvery year, and it RAINED every freakin year!! THis year they're trying something new and pushing it back to August which is amazing because my wedding is the first weekend of June! lol

^Oooo Alabama in the M. I did that drive in the G. Was very smooth!

I think we should make a meet/trip to Rockfalls this year. I want to run some of you guys (mainly Lance to see how the 35HR stacks up against the 37HR ) and have a good time.

I only got to drive the car for a week before storing it...it'll be some serious clutch education when spring comes...

I'll be honest...a vette's clutch is a LOT easier to drive then the G's. There's 100's of writeups about 1&2 gears. ...but not as many as the 7AT and the delay..
