And speaking of my Corvette... my supercharged 2001 'vert just bit the dust. I got hit by a red light runner Monday night on the way home from errands, and just got told this evening that it's being totaled.



At this point I'm still sorting things out with my insurance company. I've already been informed that I'm getting quite a sum back from them, and that's before any tally of the mods I've done is added to the vehicle's value (most of which I'll be allowed to remove and retain).

I need to start looking into it, but I'm trying to determine whether I'll be getting another C5 or taking a serious look at getting a C6.

There's plenty of reasons why I'd get another C5, my overall knowledge of (and investment in) the generation at this point none the least of them, though there are a few reasons to move on to the next generation. I've learned about some "future issues" regarding availability of replacement electronics, and honestly, this may be the only opportunity I have to get into a C6 for a long while.
