Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hey F5, PLEASE tell me you'll have your C5 when you come to retire. I don't know how many live there right now. I may be the only one shortly. We're selling the 82 CE and I'll be driving the Hardtop. I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb in that thing in Moab. Ought to be fun! Yes, Neo and I make a pair, he in the blacked out H3 and me in a torch red vette. Lookout Moab :p

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I expected you to say Smithfield.:cool: Where are you? Maybe we can hit the trails sometime.

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hey girls, any help would be great, thanks for the offer I'm sure I'll need some input with things. Maybe email you two pics with my ideas and get your input. I have a house and huge yard with a creek to do SOMETHING with. It'll take time, but I think will be fun for Neo and me to do ourselves.

The really hard part will be driving out of town all packed up. We're leaving two family's, friends from childhood, friends at work, and a Corvette club where everybody knows who we are, even though we don't know them. It's ok though, the club is way bigger than when we joined 6 years ago and sometimes a real pain in the toush. I'll miss everyone I'm sure, but can't wait to start our new life in Moab.

I'll most likely be online with you guys all the time. :grouphug: I'll need you all for company.

BeBe: there will ALWAYS be a spot for you and your family in our home. :D I've been packing all weekend down at Mom's house. Help! I've got way too much crap! And I still have stuff to pack at Neo's.

Lets go already Neo!!!!!

Sorry we're going to miss you NoMo.

Make sure you hide the HUMMER during EJS.:eek:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Sorry, C5 should be sold in a few months, that is if I ever get the transmission back in; finally got the engine back in and learned a valuable lesson with that a year ago.
It will be just me my little 110 lb doggie, and my H3 (or who knows, maybe an H4:D ) when I retire to the great southwest.
However, there are C5s in Moab. There used to be a Blue C5 parked at the Moab Mercantile on the east side of main street (just south of 100), in the heart of the T-shirt/restaurant district. Seen it there quite a lot, so I figure it has to be an owner of one of the businesses.
Also seen a red one pulling into a driveway up on the LaSal mountain loop road, into quite a house with one hell of a view. So, there are Vettes out there; if no club...start one.:D

I have to say, I'm jealous as hell. That is the most beautiful part of the USA I have ever been, and I have been in almost all of the USA. Not much of a mountain climber with the H3, but for views like this (only a few minutes from your new house), and a camera, Moab is the place to live.

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Congrats!!! We just got out of So Cal in May. Best move I ever made!!

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Same here, you can always use our place as a pitstop for Oroville!

Dar, take it one box at a time and don't get overwhelmed. Goodwill is a phone call away, purge and start fresh....it feels good!!!

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Thanks a bunch Beebs ! I may take you up on that phone call just to complain about who knows what. :)



Hey Sewie, anytime you wanna come visit, just call, I'll make sure there's cold Corona's and a place to crash waiting for ya. :beerchug:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Congrats Neo and Nav4! That is too cool and I hope that I get to visit you soon! :D :beerchug: :perfect10s:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

holy congratulations, batman!

i just met a very nice young lady who used to live in Moab... she liked it.

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Now there's an offer I can't refuse. :D

If only it wasn't 16 hours away. :(

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

everything is on track :dancingbanana: looks like the first week of Oct will be our last day of the RAT RACE :D We will be in MOAB before Halloween !!!!!!!!!!!! :beerchug:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Congrats Nav & Neo!!!

Glad we got to see your new home when we were in Moab!!
We'll come and visit y'all too!!!

Up to seven characters on the regular Utah plates :)

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I don't know you, but am really jeolous :) You get to have your own off-road park in your back yard, and all I get to do is drive into downtown Chicago every day and look for Jaguar's to run over :) Congrats!

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I don't know you either, but thank you! You'll have to drive out for Hummer Week next Spring!

Ain't nothin worse than traffic in the San Fernando Valley outside LA. Nothin worse. You'll have traffic backed up at all hours, not just during the day. Dumb. And poor Neo has to drive to and from that mess down there. And.... going to my Moms in Ventura is a joke. I left at 1 pm last Friday, drove about half way down the Conejo Grade and stopped. It sucked. So I take the Back Way, it's longer and takes more time, but there's farms at least to look at and lots of trees. At least I'm moving, I HATE standing still or going like 10 mph.

No traffic in Moab except for special events, so I can't wait! I'm sick of hearing all these car alarms too. lol

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Sewie and West, thanks for the info, I'll look at that site later, it's about 18th on my list of things I need to do before Moab. :giggling: That plate looks cool you guys...... I guess you get 30 days to get a new DL and 60 to register your vehicles.

Anyone know if there's a state fee for bringing vehicles into Utah? We've got 2 trucks and a vette to bring into the state. The vette not till we get a garage built so we've got time on that one, but both trucks will be going with us for sure.

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Are you not there yet?

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Help, I'm stuck here in LA

Good luck, Moab is far, but If I make it, I'll be calling you guys;)
It's a far cry from the 1st trip to Hungry Valley HuH?

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Wow, a little more west and south and you too will be in TEXAS!!:excited:

Kidding... Hey will you accept a call to wheel from us H3Bas'rs? Should be in Moab this Fall. Congrats.

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for you.
I checked out of the rat race after 13 years of working my way up the "ladder". One day I called in "done"....packed up an ocean container and moved to AK! I love it and would do it all over again if I could....after 9 years here.

You will love the life of "no hurry"....trust me. :shhh:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I think I have the perfect housewarming gift for you.....:jump:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

THX ROX! MISS YOU!

F5, would that be buying my 82 CE? :giggling: .......I'm having trouble finding a smog pump for it and I can't register it in CA without it and I can't sell it (i don't think) unless it's smogged, so I'm pretty stuck right now and not sure what to do next, so I need to phone DMV, oh how fun, and ask them some questions on this whole smog deal. lol

You'll just have to deliver it in person to Moab F5

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Convert it to a 4x4. There is a 4x4 Porsche that drives around Moab.:D

Or, sell it in Utah.

Have you looked online at the corvettforum or ebay for the pump? Doesn't GM still carry them in stock? I know a guy who runs a vette restoration shop in Sterling Heights MI. If you need help, I can call him. He might have a source (he should).

I would love to deliver in person, but it is more for Neo, unless you do work on the H3?:D

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

hey 5 , thanx and let us know when your gonna be in town ;) :dancingbanana:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I'll have to get your address after you move. I'll hold off on sending your gift until after you move, so it does not get lost.:dancingbanana:

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I'll take your suggestion, but we're kinda running out of time. I'll just non op it for now, then hunt down a pump. There's one guy in my club who's looking through his shed for one. lol Thanks much and I'll let you know if I need your help F5. I try not to turn wrenches on the H3, I let Steve handle that but I do assist. lol You're welcome to visit anytime, just give us a call or email.

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Chit Dang Bro, Great decision. Now that you will live there I have a lot of places to suggest you visit. I have been going to that part of the country several times a year for many years and still have not been to many places I want to go and many more I want to go back to. Looks like I may be one of the Closest forum peeps to you now....Moab is only 4 hours from here. (you are less than 6 hours from Denver as well) We will definetly stay in touch for our next trip there...maybe after I get back from Hawaii or late October.

You are going to love it...if you can find work you like. Most jobs are tourism related which is a lot like where I live as well.

In the infamous words of Hugh Hefner "Life is too short to live someone elses dream" Tru dat

Re: I SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Hey Packer, yep you'll definately have to send us some sort of list. I've already got one started in my little head of the obvious places like all of Canyonlands, four corners, grand canyon, among a few others. If you've got some cool places and/or stuff to go see, let us know in a couple months once we get kinda settled. I don't care if I have to clean rooms in Moab, Or muck out horse stalls, or work in one of the little shops. I won't make as much as out here, but how much do you need to make to live in Moab anyhow. lol Besides, Steve's heard/seen some pretty nice tips for the room attendants, wait people, bell hops. Everyone's on vacation, having a good time and wants to spend their vacation fund, I've got no problem with that. lol And I'd get to meet folks from all over which would be cool. Who knows what kind of jobs we'll get. Steve should get one as a guide or maybe in a 4x4 shop, he'd like both of those I think. But before that, I've got a HoneyDo list for him that should keep him busy till like Christmas! lol Thanks a bunch Packer, was nice meeting you in Moab.
