Yeah, I drive probably 12-15k miles a year, by the time I retire that means my Camaro will have 150-175k miles on it if I keep it that long.

No, this is all good stuff. I'm just looking to try to be persuaded to NOT buy a 2020 Corvette at this point. As far as consumer debt and retirement are concerned, I hear ya. Believe me, I have owned...

Opinions, Mod 2011, Buy 2020 Z28 or 2020 base model vette
