The wife says: Go get a Vette if you want one. What to do?
So my 60th is quickly approaching. This morning over breakfast at Angelos Diner she says. "You have always wanted a Corvette, so for your birthday go get yourself one and I will make up the difference in the payment."
Wow. The payment was never a problem for me I just didn't think spending almost (60%) as much as a small house here in South Jersey would be a prudent move for a toy. I already had my dream Vette picked out: A Torch Red 1LT C7 Stingray with:
I do love (in the car sense) my 1LE. And trading/selling a 6 month old car would really be a stupid move. What to do? What would you do? Edit: Dropped the Nav. I have come to the conclusion the NAV is an anachronism when built into a car. Better cheaper solutions out there. Learn from the young. But just to seem old I still carry some cash.

Life's short. Get want you want (if it's personally affordable).
Oh and Key West is nasty.

Why not
I just recently came from a C6 Z06 with all the bells and whistles. It was a perfect car in every way. Thing is, I just get bored with anything over time. So if you want to try a vette, I doubt you would ever be sorry. The C7's are just so cool!
The only drawback for me was, when you step up to a vette is the cost. They are wonderful cars but they arent cheap. Honestly I think I get hassled by the law alot more readily in the camaro, than I did in the vette. Last edited by sengli; 01-25-2014 at 11:22 AM. Reason: added |
