I Sold The Callaway

[@AceFillangie]

Chris, your C4 series was an incredible body of work and will be a great reference for many for years to come. Thanks for all your hard work and great videos. Enjoy!

[@keithp115]

Hey Chris, we all make mistakes and life priorities change with family. We have learned much from you, and as a C5 owner, I appreciate that. Best of luck with your new truck and stay well!

[@rodhusome8292]

Hi Chris Sorry to see u lv the corvette things. By the way I still have the c4. Thanks for all your videos. Rod

[@mycorvettelife]

I wouldn't call it a mistake. Bad timing.

[@MagredVette]

@@mycorvettelifechris, you’d be better off just saying you bit off too much and you aren’t making any money off of KZbin.

[@lorigilbert3173]

Chris, I hate to see you go, but good for you following your ❤ I really enjoyed your video's. And I've learned a lot from them on how to take care of my C5. All the best to you & your family ❤🙏

[@emmettcaton9435]

So I watching another corvette KZbinr, and thought to myself, I haven't seen a video from you in a while. So I put you in the search bar and scrolled down until I saw the " I sold the Callaway " video. I clicked on the video and watched it till the end. I'm sorry you didn't have the time to finish it. But like you said, it's going to a good home. You have great C4 content, and I would recommend your videos to anyone to watch. God Bless you and your family

[@kussstuff]

Chris, I can't thank you enough for all the info you have gave me on my C4. Totally understand the direction you're going, and I couldn't be happier for you and your family. Looking forward to seeing you when ever we can.

[@brianbartron2787]

Chris, you do not have to explain anything to anybody, it’s called life and you are living yours! I enjoyed watching all of your videos as I had your passion about 30 years ago! Now I’m older and can’t do the things I could do back then! Good Luck!

[@GregSr]

Hi Chris. I've enjoyed all of your C5 videos. I've learned a lot. I will be 70 in October and I have no interest in wrenching on my cars. Back in 1969 ever since I got my driver's license, I took pride in being able to do almost all my own work. I didn't have the funds to pay someone even if I wanted to. Now, I won't even do my own oil changes. Now, I will pay someone to do the repairs and service. The most recent project I did myself was installing plugs and wires in my 2003 C5 LS1. It took way longer than it should have. Anyway, I can completely relate to burning out on car work.

[@eaglerider94]

Hear you on that. At close to 65, I'm getting there but not quite there 😭

[@45auto17]

Myself...I'll be 70 this with the health issues I've had I just cannot do the things I wanted to do anymore. I was ready to buy a C5 project car earlier this year, then had to make a bunch of repairs to my '99 Chrysler 300 that just wore me out! Had to face reality then that I'm not the 19 year old mech I once was. Hit me pretty hard.

[@SethRogan-zo1kl]

Respect your 70 and your in the youtube comments. Well 71 now, If your still doing well, cheers.

[@Horses_and_Horsepower]

Gonna miss your videos. Congrats on everything! Glad you have found the things that make you enjoy this one life we have. Anyone who has anything negative to say about your happiness, well, they are just jealous and wish they could find their own happiness and can pound sand. Congrats again brother.

[@jayb3955]

Chris as a C4 owner I want to thank you for all the content especially the LEDs in the dash it helped me a lot sorry the Callaway didn't work out for you nothing to be ashamed of.

[@geraldmead7845]

You have my sincere admiration for all the quality corvette content you've created. I'm am a 71 year old Vette enthusiast and your channel allowed me to remember all the long hours of blood, sweat and tears I used to devote to my many car projects. Like you and all other gear heads sometimes we go into a big project and life gets in the way. You are a stand up guy to share your disappointment for all to see. You, my friend, are a good man.

[@biketom5]

I recently found your channel and really appreciate the help you have provided. I just recently purchased a 2013 C6 Grand Sport, so that was the reason why I found your channel. I am turning 70 in a couple of months and still enjoy wrenching on my vehicles. Your videos will be a great resource to many of us for years to come. Best of luck to you and your future endeavors!

[@floodx4947]

Glad to see the Callaway go to a good home. I have said this before, but it was a shame that your channel didn't "take off" like I am sure you wanted it too. You made some of the best, if not THE best content on upgrading a C5 Corvette. Unfortunately, KZbin is pretty much a full time job, but if it doesn't get off the ground, it just doesn't pay the bills. Good luck with the karts, and once again, THANK YOU for all the help and inspiration you gave me with my C5.

[@topherbec7578]

I was thinking to myself. Wonder what that guy with the Callaway is up to?

[@ricklipford8762]

Hello Chris congratulations on your new truck . As a C5 Corvette owner I have learned a lot and enjoyed all of your videos enjoy being with the family and enjoy your go-karts do hope you will do some more videos on the C5 in the near future

[@shawnguillory267]

Chris, do not feel bad or let anyone tell you that your life’s priorities are less important than this KZbin channel or that Callaway. Things happen. We grow and change. I’m glad you are well and miss your content, but totally get it. My 96 sits a lot more than it used to. Take care of yourself and your family.

[@bobbyb5215]

Hey Chris thanks for your time making and posting your installation and modifications videos they were always enjoying to watch. Good luck in your next endeavors ✌️

[@crazyvet85]

I am using your videos as help to guide me. You’ve helped me already twice! Got my fuel filter and thermostat, and throttle body bypass! Thank you

[@waynecampbelljr3918]

Chris you helped me immensely to do a lot of work on my C5 with confidence!! I appreciate you Brother! Congrats on the truck, go karting ( sounds like a friggin blast ) & you taking care of Family & You!! 😉😎👌👊🏽🙌

[@Elizabeth-tb5wh]

Adulting is hard! Gotta live your life! I’ve inherited my husbands C5 and so far I’m just wading through upkeep. I get it! Glad you found it a good home! 🙏🏻❤️

[@eaglerider94]

Wanna sell it? lol

[@ASLackey22]

Where to start?…Well first I guess congratulations on the new truck! Looks awesome and it’s cool that you were able to pick it up without payments!! Sorry to hear you won’t be completing the Callaway and that KZbin was starting to feel like a chore. I can’t help but give you so much credit for your content you released and the quality of it. Every video you made was done so well and with a great explanation. You’re definitely one of the best content creators I’ve watched on here!

[@Steve-Martin]

As a 1st time purchaser recently of a 1996 C4 LT4 Corvette, I found your channel very valuable in helping me with the "Ins & Outs" of these fantastic sports cars. Thank you so much for taking the time in making & up load those vid's Chris. Take care. Regards, Steve from Australia ;-)

[@rudyrubio3309]

Thats awesome chris , congratulations and so many things have changed aswell i also sold my GS last December so i understand 👍

[@rubyred93chev]

_Am a diehard Chevy guy for sure. Sad to see that your Callaway wasn't finished, but in the same vane, good to see the car going to another Callaway owner/collector. I know you didn't post more about the cost involved in maintaining(and bringing back to life this C4), but having your 2021 Chevy Silverado free and clear makes me smile. Great job Chris. Over the years I've owned seven fourth gens so I completely understand the precarious situation these cars can put us in financially. (In the end game did you lose out on a truckload of cash post-completion of your 1990 Callway Corvette, probably)._

[@stevevlahos1]

I would have loved to own that car.

[@RetroCarsForever]

I think it was SUPER smart to recognize that you're just not gonna get to a project car, and to sell it to someone who will. SO MANY project cars sit around for decades, because the owners mistakenly believe that they'll "get to it someday" and then never do, at which point they can be complete write-offs. As cool as that Callaway is, you clearly have a lot of other fulfilling things to enjoy your time with. Wish you the best Chris!

[@davidshaw7454]

Your family and life come first Chris , I like your new truck ! All the best , and thanks for taking us all along with your projects , stay safe. !

[@antonarcane93]

I’m just sad I don’t get to see videos of that callaway getting restored. Best of luck to ya man and thanks for all the rad vids. That C5 sounds nice tho!

[@BellaRocko]

Good job, Chris! Looks like you're enjoying life. We appreciate you and everything you've done. You've done plenty for the community. Thanks for sharing!

[@SeaninConcord]

Mad props to you bro. No shame in the game of prioritizing. Your C4 videos are crucial in the restoration of my 88 C4 (damn near twin of yours) Damn shame you Reeves died when he did.

[@ericswild]

Chris, its been a while and wanted to check back with you. Thank you for getting my interest into Corvettes. I ended up with a c5 which I added long tubes, an A&A procharger, cams,etc..bringing it up to 600HP. We are a part of a local Vette club and enjoy our new friends. You helped bring me along down this path and I just wanted to say thanks and good luck with your family and everything. I am sure many of us would love to hear from you....kids on go-cart vids...etc, when you have time.

[@thomaswilson8634]

Chris a lot of your followers definitely love cart racing. If you have a few free moments at races drop us a little video.

[@matthewboudreaux2693]

Totally understandable about selling the Callaway. You already have a nice turn key vette to enjoy. Kids grow up fast so spend as much time as you can with them.

[@alaneasterday8327]

Hi Chris, going to miss the C4, but you made the right decision, especially when it comes to your family. Really like the new ride.👌👍

[@supplementDUDE]

All things in life are temporary! I wish you luck on your new endeavors. I recently bought a 1993 Corvette ZO7 and your videos have been very helpful getting me started on it. Thanks for your contributions to the Corvette world!

[@ghost-operator26s66]

All love man, really enjoyed this series as I’m a 22 dad with a c4 and I’ve learned alot from your videos about how these callaways were built!

[@hemispherecars5616]

Hi Chris, you made fine videos and I am on my 3rd C4 so it helped. The Callaway was a massive challenge and you did well getting as far as you did. I know about the ups and downs of making videos to post. Good luck with the go-karting, we are about to get my grandson into it.

[@nikkoalpha2]

Times change. Interests follow. You are entitled to determine your own path. Ignore any haters. Best wishes on your future.

[@glenakers]

Thanks for all the great videos. Keep spending time doing things you love. Saluting you and waving from Portland!

[@chandlerplott4361]

Congratulations! Great to hear from you! Love the new truck!

[@jimratzlaff3112]

Chris, thanks for all of your great videos. I especially appreciated your C4 videos since I have an '89 convertible.

[@nikeiddude123]

Thank you for everything, I thoroughly enjoyed your content as a c4 owner. Life is more important than cars

[@psrpete]

Nice to see you doing a video. Life happens. Good luck to you.

[@TheBlkac1]

😎👍🏿 No need to explain. I found your KZbin channel, after I bought a C4 Corvette...I your videos have been a great help to me. Thanks 💛😊👍🏿😎

[@darrenbrown896]

You helped us all out and we truly appreciate it 😊

[@nashrambler5246]

Best of luck to you Chris. I have to tell you man… you were the inspiration that got me to pick up another C5 again and also I picked up a lot of aftermarket stuff that you got too. I will always be grateful to you for the videos and the conversations we have had. Enjoy life my friend!!! 😎

[@jonstapleton76]

It happens, you don't owe anyone anything. Live your best life. Looks like your C5 is done enough to just drive and enjoy. I think I will get a C6, they are better in every way. Nice truck by the way! See you when we see you, and good luck.

[@rickburt7055]

Hey Chris, as life goes on our priorities change. I'm coming up to '70 now and have gone from snowmobiling, to boats to scuba diving then motorcycles. I now have a C5. As I say "been there done that ". Good luck with future endeavors. From Ontario Canada eh

[@robmunger922]

All good things come to an end. I enjoyed your corvette videos as I had a C5 and now a C6 Grand Sport and a 79 T top car. Best of luck to you and the family. Maybe it’s time for My Go Cart Life channel

[@kirkcunningham6146]

Thanks for the update. I kind of feel that you got way over your head with that car. Not your fault. It's a car that would take allot of time, effort and dedication with connections and resources. You would always be making KZbin videos with no life with your family. I enjoyed watching your C4 stuff. Take care and good luck to you.

[@OMEGATECH]

it's sad Chris but sometimes life decisions have to be made and then we move on, so on that note will always support you in whatever endeavors you partaking 👍

[@joemessman1]

I'm late to the party here, but glad you are doing what you want and enjoy. I knew your grandpa and grandma in Lake Havasu and wish you all the best. I still have my C7 Z06. I bought a C8 a few years ago and just didn't like it as well as My Z06. I'm the type of guy that when i go out in my garage and am going someplace I drive my favorite car. I eventually always ended up choosing the C7. Never could get on with the C8. I followed you for a long time and always enjoyed your videos and looked forward to them. So long for now, and the my best to you and yours.

[@christianleroy-hernandez2437]

The Callaway looked like a nightmare. Good to see you back Chris!

[@CorvetteModified]

We are in the same boat. Between my two kids and other hobbies working on the c5 is at the bottom of the priority list and you tubing is a MUCH lower priority than that. I'm all about keeping the car running now and just enjoying it and creating memories with the family and friends in it when I can. Hope the c5 is doing well along with you and the family in AZ stay cool.

[@jenniparker1]

I've really enjoyed your content, and we all understand that priorities change in life. Besides, you started your channel because it was something you liked doing, and when it becomes a chore to do and something you no longer enjoy, it's time to move on to something you do enjoy. Kart racing looks like a blast, just watch our for those blue shells. ;)

[@kennygibbs9627]

What,😂that's fine someone's else's dream ✔️

[@RT10Viperman]

Well Chris thanks for all the C4 info in your past videos. I really enjoyed used your knowledge to fix mine up..! Good luck with you new Z71...!!

[@Steverz32]

Time is better spent with family👍☺️Kids grow so fast & time flys as you get older. The C5 is still a beast!

[@colt5189]

While I'm bummed we won't get to see the Callaway finished and probably won't get anymore Corvette repair instructional videos, I understand. I will say I really did like your instructional videos as they were very well lit. As a lot of vehicle repair videos have very poor lighting where it's hard to see what they are doing.

[@bobmrkus3185]

That is a nice truck!!! And the C 5 sounds awesome!!!!

[@clintmuschamp7469]

I salute you sir, thanks for the help within C4 community. Best of luck on your future endeavors, enjoy the journey.

[@ryanmcguire9335]

Thanks for the great videos you really helped me with my C4 projects. Good luck to you!

[@lesismotors]

Really enjoyed C4 videos! Useful too. Good luck to You and new owner!

[@roytalbot6668]

Congratulations Chris, I have been following you for awhile 😁. I bought a2022 Silverado new. Got the 6.2 with the 10 speed transmission. It's a nice truck. It only has 6200 miles on it now, barley broke in. I am going to miss your videos but family first! I will still follow, take care.

[@BoostedSpeedDemon]

What a shame. I wish you luck sir

[@davidgough5644]

Your not losing a subscription here bruddah... Life happens, there's nothing etched in stone that obligates you (or anyone else) to having a one track mind. Some viewers might feel they need an explanation for your interests changing, I won't be one of them. It is what it is. Live YOUR life. Your core audience will stay subscribed just to see what's new with you whether it's a week, month, 6 months away. Have fun with the karting , we'll see you later😎👍🏼👍🏼

[@holditonhanson1]

SMART MOVE DITCHING the c4 , that c5 you have is where its at , I have a Sebring silver c5 z51 g92 option with automatic of course they just have the right perfect combo going on the c5's do in my opinion there just the perfect driver's street performance machine ... if i were to buy a different series vette that would be 1963 to 1967 era the best of the older vintage vettes .... shifter carts look like a blast i need to try those out ... i raced stand up jet ski's professionally for 20 years most fun ever in this life of mine ....

[@FCOUTAVAS]

Chris, Good for you my friend. Priorities with a family are always changing . Glad your happy. Stay Safe and remember, you still have a Vette, So, don’t lose your “My Corvette Life” Identity !!!!

[@windycitywarrior71]

Awesome! Congratulations on the TB. Any part of you wish you still had the other c4 you sold?

[@Q80superman]

Good luck with the sale, and keep doing what you like as a family guy. You did the right thing, family. 1st

[@OCDRex11]

Not gonna lie, this hit hard. Not because of you per se, but because I am there now as well. All of my time, money, and passion has gone since kids. That isn't bad to say either. I love my family more than anything. But I miss my youth, my careless spending, and the ability to work on a car for 15 hours strait if I wanted to. LOL We all grow up and it is right in your face when you realize it. Congrats on the truck. I personally would only buy that exact truck/model if I wasn't so hung up on the Cybertruck and the fact I will buy it when my order gets filled.

[@rodfinke896]

Going to miss the videos, but the only person you need to make happy is yourself and what best for you and family. The best too you👍

[@Krusher_1970]

Hi Chris, i figured you'd be selling that Callaway thing soon or late. Passion is passion, it's good when it comes, it sucks when it goes, so i understand your point if you decided to give-up with the Callaway project. What made this video worth to watch, was hearing the wonderful sound of your C5 again, the only reason for me to have had followed this channel for 3 years. I unsuscribed when that red "thing" came in and i won't certainly subscribe back to know about your new truck (if that is going to be the content of your channel), which i don't care anything about. Thanks for all the videos you've made about the C5, your passion was great back then and made me fall in love with that car. Good luck for everything.

[@WORRO]

God bless you and your beautiful Family Brother! Thumbs up video~john

[@1dollarten]

Chris , as deep as you were involved in the Calloway and the amount of effort it would take to see if to completion , you made the best decision to part ways with it . Given your schedule and the room you have , the Calloway would prove insurmountable

[@jefflawson7468]

Wow amazing truck

[@ltform]

Enjoyed your channel, best of luck.

[@davidbaize4825]

Hey, you do what you gotta do 😁👍

[@45auto17]

Hi Chris, I totally get it. When life's changes happen, we dont always have a chance or the wherewithal to keep some of our toys or hobbies. I've been a rifle & pistol reloader for 27 years, and like you with the 'Vettes, I did it for fun. Well...a couple years ago, I suddenly realized it wasn't fun any longer. It had become a chore. So I stopped it. My health taking a serious downturn was part of it. Plus, I just wasn't shooting as much, so I didn't need 1 million rounds of ammo either. I've since picked back up with loading a few calibers, just occasionally and as needed, and it is fun once again. Maybe you will decide at a later date to do some more KZbin project cars, if so, great. If not, the main thing is for you to be happy. I will miss your Corvette postings for sure, but it's not the end of the world. Good luck and enjoy your family, Bud!

[@irishgroundhogbrewer3066]

Hey Chris, how about a my go-cart life? That’d be cool to see. I loved the c5 series (I have a 98 c5) and it’s helped me a couple of times. You produce great content and information. I know life and family takes priority, pretty much why I haven’t posted anything too. Great to see another video tho!

[@martyscncgarage5275]

All good, best wishes Chris!

[@carybliznik7753]

Good luck Chris enjoy your family while you can😎

[@georgeanddaddecker7563]

Good job sir! I think you made some good decisions. What so you do for work? The C5 looks great. How many ho do you think?

[@red03vette]

sweet truck!! i noticed right away it matched your C5! very nice... i currently have a 2018 white Colorado LT V6 4x4, I'm thinking i need a red truck to match my C5 (torch red) 🙂

[@stevesnvegas9040]

Life is short. Have fun Chris!

[@chriswiebe3794]

Glad to see you're keeping the c5. Too bad you sold Callaway.

[@eaglerider94]

Hi Chris, I really enjoyed your videos and understand deciding to let go of the Callaway. New truck and those karts. I used to kart, lots of fun! Yes 2.5 G's and I'm sure you've invested in a rib cage brace? Friend snapped 2 ribs hitting those G forces. Love your C5 so at least you have that beast! Good vibes to you and your family. Cheers from So. California 😉

[@jimmycline4778]

I live in Arizona too, I bought a new 2023 Colorado Trail Boss, I did Lifyt with my 22 a Corolla and payed off my truck in 5 months, plus I only have 2700 miles on it, I also own a C5 Corvette, if you ever want some content , I’ll pay you to install a lighted front grill bow tie on my Colorado TB , i need some work on my C5 too! I want to do a crate LS3 swap on it!

[@castlegarage6969]

I have a new silverado ..be sure and buy the obd2. Plug in from range technology's so you don't drop a lifter stays in v.8 mode all the time .that truck has dynamic fuel management...just a warning to you

[@mycorvettelife]

Mine does not. The 5.3 with 10 speed specifically didn’t have it.

[@castlegarage6969]

@mycorvettelife at a minimum buy yourself a pedal comander you won't regret it

[@volt101x]

Family always comes first..... Just don't delete them C4 videos they are extremely helpful

[@trebm3]

Figured something was up after we hadn’t seen anything for a while. The car itch will form and but gotta do what you love and not a chore.

[@gregoryjowers3629]

Heck man I don’t blame you for selling the vette. Enjoy your life with family and friends and what you enjoy just remember what God has done for us the freedoms we have happy 4th July buddy

[@cindykeselowski899]

[@cindykeselowski899]

Also Chris, what is the kart track you frequent?

[@mycorvettelife]

[@cindykeselowski899]

@mycorvettelife I will have to check it out sometime. I used to compete in Enduros back in the 70's at various road courses. It was a blast!

[@williamlaughridge6076]

[@jonathanedwards2983]

I just had a similar experience trading vehicles. 2020 Silverado with 42k miles and I basically got what I paid for it in trade value.

[@richarddobreny6664]

I was beginning to wonder since I hadn’t seen any blogs on it. I kinda warned you about this and that’s okay. You only have so much time to divide and priories take precedence

[@chriswiebe3794]

Nice truck

[@natez0690]

I’d skip the cold air intake and exhaust for your new truck. If you want loud noises go drive the Vette! Save your money for karting! Plus, some “cold air intakes” really aren’t that cold unless you datalog IATs to verify.

[@jez350]

Agree with the others Chris. Sad about the Callaway & wish you’d called me. Anyway appreciate all your work particularly the C4 stuff. Stay well..👍
