I would keep it. Depending on the weather, you could get a water proof car cover and store it outside.

Jr,

Sounds like you don't need to sell. I have both a C3 and C5. It is great to have a spare so you are never Vetteless. However, since your 75 is a 4 sp. Vert in great condition, you should be able to sell it rather handily should you decide to do so.

I say keep, w these possible solutions:

1. Tell your wife that, unfortunately, the CF survey results stated that her car just got voted out of the garage!

2. Leave the Vette you will drive less, probably the 75, outside and covered.

3. If your garage is tall enough, (+/- 10 ft.), consider a Backyard Buddy or similar lift to accommodate all 3 cars.

Pics? I'd keep it cause I'm sure you'd get way more compliments driving a C3 than a C6.

A C6 is just another depreciating used car for years to come.
