Tmr is going to be my last day at Alcoa Good Times. It's been a good job for the past three years, but I'm ready to move on with my life.
Good luck!

I wish I knew you were thinking about selling the 'Vette before I bought that engine. I could have used the LS6, parted out the 'Vette, and made a profit. :roll:
As of right now the vette is staying 8) I'm going to stuff her in the garage for the winter and drop the insurance to a minimum. If all goes as planned she will be out next season. I doubt I will be doing any national events but I will attend most of the local ones.

Just got to concentrate on school and make that my top priority.

In the spring of '10 I'm taking my PE (Professional Engineering) Exam. After that, I think I'm taking some time off.
Congratulations! I'm just glad to have my first job post-undergrad! :D

Z06Fix wrote:Next year is up in the air for me. I'm considering going back to school full time and selling the vette. Taking 5hrs a semester is killing me right now. It makes it hard to find classes and even harder to sort things out with my job. Bumping that up to 14-16 hours would swap those two around and get me out 4 semesters sooner. Plus make it alot easier to pack up and move for an internship. Thats a big draw right now.

I can always buy another vette later on.

There is a good chance that I could end up co-driving a SS (C6 Z) car next year for the local stuff.

Wow, that's all news to me. I can feel your pain man. Sometimes its a struggle with my vette along with a baby. I could make things really easy on myself... sell the vette, pay off a couple of other payments and get some money saved up.

But I really love doing this, so we've been able to make it ok so far. We're starting to get things back on track after some rough times. But I've also already got my degree and you're still working on yours so thats a big difference.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck as I wouldn't even be here if you hadn't introduced me to this sport. If you sell the C5Z, its gonna be a lil lonely in ASP next year :cry:
