As of right now, you havent had it a long time, and its very close to stock, so IF you do miss it like a motherfucker in a few months or a year, it will be easy to replace with another because its not super modified. There will always be another stockish vette you can scoop up at some point, or hell, even a modded Z06 for good prices! Yeah dude i think that your 100% right with that statement.

Adjust to the transaction and see if you want to finish by selling the other car, or if you’ll regret it. No sense in being spontaneous and selling both, lol. I know the difference and i know exactly what you mean. I bought the vette because its what I’ve wanted for a long time. But at the same time, whats the point in cruising in it etc when no one else really wants to. Its boring by yourself, and DD’ing the thing like i have been is just stupid because thats adding a ton of non-sense miles to the vehicle. I think the scene around here sucks lately. I really dont care to throw a ton of money into the vette, as ive done with my previous two projects, just to make it faster. Im really leaning towards selling both vehicles and going for a nice diesel, and maybe in about two years, schools done and i should be settled into my career, ill pick up a nice c6 ---

I say sell the truck. Pay off that credit card and the rest put on the vette with the money from the truck. Buy a used pickup for a grand or two to daily drive. Once that vette is paid off you will have no reason to want to sell it. That’s my whole deal. As of right now I have zero debt and love it. Pretty stress free. Gonna wait to buy my LS3 C6 til I get a good job after school. No sense in having a big dick payment on a car I will want to mod. ---

C6’s will be really cheap in a couple years, probably low 20s for CLEAN examples. ---

I hear ya Stallmer, thats not a bad idea, but the whole thing with that is my truck is wicked reliable, and its nice as it is, why get rid of it to still have the vette payment. It doesnt cost me anything but insurance to have the truck. I can make $1500 to pay off the credit card. That was just an incentive to getting rid of both. ---

Trust me, when you have a house, priorities get shifted around a bit. Also, don’t be one of those people that count on making $100K out of school. Keep your bills low and credit score high. That’s how I made it this far and still above water. ---
