Ok, I decided..
I'm going to be down there. The NCM contacted me about chairing one of the panel discussions.
Also, I've decided...
(sigh, gulp)
...I'm going to put my ZR-1 up for sale this Spring.
Why am I doing that after 20 great years of ownership?
1) I need some cash. I want to buy my Wife an ATS-V. She's lived with 12-years of my being a Corvette Caravan Captain. She put up with my buying Z06 "toys" in 2004 and 2012. So, now, she gets a "toy". She wanted a BMW, but I sold her on the M3's new arch-rival, an ATS-V.
2) We only have garage space for three Corvettes and the off-site storage we've been using for the fourth is soon going away so we need to downsize the "fleet."
3) I'm getting too old to service and maintain four Vettes.
4) My '71 BB Coupe is not saleable right now, the 2004 Z06 isn't worth enough and I don't want to sell my '12 Z06 so, in a few months, Barney will be someone's "shopportunity" to become one of the few Zroners who own a ZR-1 from the last year of production and which is painted a "one-year color".
