Rented a C7 today.
For the past year or so, I've rented a Vette from this place in Miami every 3 or so months (only going to do it every 6 months now), and it just reminds me every time why I'm saving up in the first place for a C7 of my own in 2-3 years when I finish school. I was heading home this morning from picking it up when a red C7 cruised by on the opposite side of the street and waved at me and I waved back. Even though I looked to be about 1/3 his age, it sent this shiver down my body of "joy" if you'd call it that.
One of the reasons I can't wait to own one is just because of community alone. Literally counting down the days.

"Joy" = orgasmic, isn't it...?

I know a C7 is really tempting but make sure you have your priorities in order when you finish school. Unless you have the resources, a C7 should not be priority #1. A home and saving for your future seem like higher priorities.

if you're saving up, you're putting a nice dent in your savings every time you take one out. I only rented a Vette once when I was younger to get the taste. Well...the rest is history.

I've been told this by enough people and I can't stress how much I understand but to me, my happiness is priority. Driving around a C7 every day would bring me more happiness than coming home to a house. I prefer a nice tiny condo/apartment over a house anyway since that's how I was raised.

It's a very tiny dent with the price I get since I'm friends with the owner and I've rented multiple times compared to what I put away weekly. If it really pushed back me getting one of my own that much I wouldn't do it.

None of us are saying don't make happy a priority. Make happy long lasting. Spread that happiness out over the long haul. That does not mean renting a Corvette occasionally either.
These folks did not get older by being stupid or living only for the now. I am sure many of them shook there heads and bristled when you said you understand.
Life IS going to rain on your parade.
I wish you only good things.

Ignore those who would try to live your life for you.
I also am one of those guys who would gladly over-spend on my car and under-spend on the rest. It's your life and YOU choose your priorities.
On this site we are obviously all here because we share a mutual interest in Corvettes. HOWEVER, there are a million paths to getting one and it is YOUR CHOICE on how you get there.

Get the vette. Buy a condo with parking asap. Rent sucks. Most important forget everything, bees make honey.
Do what YOU want man.
Live free!
You only get one life.
