Bye bye Evo, Hello C6
With tears in my eyes, I watched my Evo drive away from me on Saturday, in the hands of it's new owner, Tanner. After 6 years, I had decided that it was time to sell the Evo and move on to a C6 Corvette. The Evo provided me with super-reliable 4-season transportation and competition driving. I know that the new owner will love it.

I just thought I'd drop by to say goodbye to you all. If you see Tanner on the forums, give him a warm welcome. Without further adieu, here's the new baby:

My wife is already eyeing the keys. She wasn't a huge fan of driving the Evo but loves the fact that she can drive the Vette in any gear at any speed. Definitely a different experience than I'm used to...
