I'm sure it wasn't the brightest move ever but I traded in my almost 3 year old Aura for an '05 Z51 with 13k miles, I'm picking it up tomorrow after work. I still have the 3rd gen and will keep autocrossing and modding it as long as it's still around.

Apparently the former owner was in a Corvette club and only took it out on weekends, he traded it in for a new Camaro!

I saw a bunch of large rocks (2" - 3") in the road today and successfully dodged them but obviously didn't miss one! I heard the front tire hit it, but nothing else so I didn't think much of it. There is clearly a hole in the rocker that extends outward JUST enough to be visible when walking up to it! The rocks were there because the grass cutting crew knocked a bunch of them out into the road, it looked like they drove the mower over the rocks with the blades running!!!!!!

This is going to be a daily occurrence with this car. The first night I got it I was stuck in a hail storm... I've never driven in hail before!!! Then there was a bunch of sand/marbles on the highway that pelted the front end and windshield.

We'll see what the rest of the week brings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)
