sweet set of wheels Lensman... you lucky bastard :)

Ok the yellow one is sitting in Jacksonville waiting on me tomorrow to pick up and sign the papers. I feel wierd about it. I want it but I don't really need it if you know what I mean. I am sort of a frugal bare bones type of person. I have a decent Z-72 4X4 now that I lease for my other business and probably will replace it with a Tahoe in November when the lease is up.

But I always wanted a vette for myself but I also feel like I should invest the money in something else that will make more money. But with this GM 0% financing and me getting older and older every day (Dead is a very long time last I checked). and who wants to be 65 driving around in a vette anyways? Some of my friends tell me go ahead and get it while you can and while you're young (36) and some people tell me that I am being frivalous. Fuck I hate decisions like this.

What do you all think?

It's a little motorcycle. Yamaha Virago 250cc I use it to put around town. 75 miles to the gallon..

Good question... I'll give you my unique (and un-popular) perspective on this...

It's just money... What's the worse that can happen? Even if you fuck up your credit, no big deal... I've sold perfectly good cars that ran fine... but looking back it was a lot about ego... Wanting a fancy car for the wrong reasons can be a weakness of character... if you really like the feel of speed -- go to a racetrack or something... go as fast as you need to -- then get over it... Are you a slave to your desires? There will always be some guy on the road faster than you... if you are doing it to impress girls or your business associates, sure why not... put your URL on the damn thing... also the Vette has class... and it's something that you've wanted for a long time... Probably you want to buy it but you feel guilty -- fuck the guilt... just buy it and learn your lesson the hard way... :Graucho

Once you've had it a year or two maybe you will be watching some guy driving down the road in a piece of shit having way more fun than you are...

Do you really want girls that just like your car? On the other hand -- do cool women exist that aren't about the bling? These are difficult questions, but the fact remains that you will get more pussy in a hot body than in a hot car... You could spend all that time u would be driving (sitting on your ass) and working for more $ to pay off the Vette in the gym, time better spent working out or jogging -- getting sunshine! -- not slaving away sitting on your ass for General Motors... Not only will u feel better not working so much and being healthy, you will look better, and the opposite sex will definitely notice... On the other hand, drunk driving, high RPM's and road-head is fun too...

My theory is everyone gets to a point where they have the nicest car they will ever want to own -- then they just grow up and get over it... Some of the most enlightened and happy people I've ever met don't even own cars...

anyway I'm going for a walk...

TheFly over complicates it.

If it makes you happy, buy it :)

Definitely buy the fucker!
The corvette is the best sports car you can get for the money. You wont be dissappointed, its worth it.

I just sold my vette cause I have always wanted a 911 Turbo, which I enjoy a lot more, but most people dont think its worth spending $97,000 on a car.

lens,
i hope you sold your c5 i didnt know you had...and surely not the '61 :(

Black, try to go with the Z06 if you can get one. That's what I have. I've owned a number of Vettes in my day, this is the keeper. It's not a convertable but if you go for a drive in one you won't want anything else, trust me.

Question? Here's your simple answer in 4 words: "If not now, when?"

Yep, I sold the '62. I needed the room.

Sheryl Crow?
