You become a Corvette forum moderator!
Or you buy something that is statically prone to break down and enjoy the headache.

Drifting
I have always enjoyed working on my corvettes way more then showing them, Two 68 roadsters and one 65 elcamino as well as a 72 K5 blazer have consumed many a garage hour.before I aquired my 61 , both my uncles warned me the C 1 will always be in need of repair .so the work is never done. I would like front disc brakes some wide whites and maybe a new white soft top someday. the 2013 winter repair is a easy one rebuild my distributor new bushings and a shaft are in order .all part of the fun .

Sell them , oops aren't you supposed to collect? That's where I have been going wrong.
It's a disease , who in their right mind gets excited about getting a box of 100 nitrile gloves on sale, tell me I,m not alone

Hmmm..... lemme see if I can help....
You like working on them.... so your car is always finished.
I just like driving them, so mine's not finished because I can't stop driving it.
Seems to me we could help each other out.... you could work on mine, while I drive yours....

To the untrained eye, my ’66 looks complete. However I know the truth... it’s never done. It may be close but there’s always something else. Since it is close, I’m not taking any chances. I’m thinking about another car.

That's why we need multiple hobbies. 
Finish one project and move on to the next in another hobby. Eventually you come full circle and find something to do on the Vette again.

I have 2 John Deeres and a lot of grass, I never want for something to do, or in this case have to do. Winter is when I get to do some heavy wrenching, summer not so much.

I've got two MTD's. And they give me a headache on occasion.
All this talk has got me stirred up. I just ordered the tinted glass for my coupe. Now I feel better......for a while.

What happens? Leaks and other teensy malfunctions crop up, door ding chips happen, vandals bust a window to steal a shift ****, a storm or quake causes the garage to collapse on your prize car, leaving neighboring beaters untouched.

When you run out of stuff to do on your Corvette, you might think about going small. This should keep you busy for quite some time.

Gunsmithing is my small hobby.

Just found a hole ripped in the driver's seat of my '61 so off I go again. Doing the whole shebang - covers, foam, burlap, correct springs and will refurbish the tracks while I have them out of the car. Nice winter project (I hope)
