WELL LADIES AND GENTLEMAN,  THE STATE OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS HAS FINALLY CAUGHT ME. i FOUGHT LIKE HELL TO STAY ABOVE IT ALL .HOWEVER, AFTER 11 YEARS MY WIFE AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CLOSE DOWN OUR BUSINESS. wHICH LEAVES ME UNEMPLOYED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 32 YEARS. i HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL MY RESOURCES AND OVER THE PAST YEAR SOLD OFF EVERYTHING I HAD THAT BROUGHT JOY  BUT HAD VALUE. NOW i`M DOWN TO THE VETTE. SO IF ANY OF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW OF IS INTERESTED IN 1969 CHROMIE SEND ME AN E-MAIL @ STARRYDOG1@AOL.COM. I WON`T LIST THE DETAILS HERE ALL I`LL SAY RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALLY REBUILT MECHANICALLY UNDER THE PLASTIC AND RUNS LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL.

Bob, I've lived long enough to know that life is not fair and that sometimes we have to make sacrifices that tear our heart out for the sake of those we love.  I hate to hear you are selling your chormie and I hope you can find someone who will love and take care of her like you have.  Good luck.

Say it ain't so, Bob!?!? 
That sux.....Sorry to hear it has come to that. This friggin economy bites!
Good Luck...I'll keep my eyes/ears open for anyone that might be interested....

THANKS GUYS, I APPRECIATE IT. BOB

Bob, really sorry to hear about this. I always admired your bumper car - real sweet.  I'll put some feelers out in my Miami offices.

DAMMIT !!!

I hated to read this! I have a fond memory of taking a road trip in Bowling Green and seeing a silver blur in my mirror blow through a left curve......

Although I understand what you have written all but too well it somehow doesn't ease the pain. Simply put THIS SUXZ!

I know we each have to do what we feel is right and feel confident your decision is the right one,

Bob I hope you will continue to remain in the tank once the car is gone. Afterall once a passionate Vette owner alwayz a passionate Vette owner......

You'll be back.......

Bob - I feel terrible. I just lost my business, I restructured and reopened a few weeks ago. I also had lost my day job at the same time. Im back at the day gig on a temp assignment.  I sold a few guitars to pay the mortgage. It sucks. It totally sucks. I was able to keep my Vette. I may have sold my kidney first. Listen, chin up. Good luck...

THANKS FOR ALL THE  ENCOURAGEMENT GUYS. FORTUNATELY WE CAN CONTINUE WITH A SEPERATE DIVISION OF OUR BUSINESS UNDER A DIFFERENT CORPORATION. wILL KEEP MY WIFE BUSY BUT I WON`T BE NECCESSARY THERE EXCEPT FOR  THE NECESSARY FIX IT STUFF.
