Default What should I do? Keep the 96 or the 94 convertable?

I bought my first vette in march and it is a 96 aqua mettalic....Now I just bought a 94 convertable black on black with 1998 corvette rims and tires on it....It has a new top and is basically in awesome shape...What would you do? keep the 94 or 96....Oh by the way....the tires on the 94 are from a 98 vette...they are 18" in the rear and 17" in the front...I don't know if I like the look or not...If I decide to sell the 98's wheels....what could I get for them? I like the saw blades myself...I need help! P.S I haven't told the wife that it is being delivered to me next week. oh boy!

I would keep the '94. Overall the same car, but I personally like the colors better.

do you have the window sticker for both cars? thats an easy way to compare the options and original cost.
that would be my first comparison.
ignore the wheels and tires cuz you can keep whatever you prefer.
are they both auotmatics?
both convertibles?
you really didnt give enough info to judge by for the question.
whats the miles on both cars?
other than the above i would recommend driving one for a few days.get used to it.then drive the other for a few days,then switch back.
do this for about 2 weeks and you will know which one you want to keep.
this also works for women btw

To me it would be about the options, mi. and color/cosmetics.
If I had to choose, I would have the blk. rag top/raodster.
Im guessing that keeping both is not an option

If both had the LT1 engine and same transmission, I would probably keep the 'vert. If the '96 has the LT4 I might lean toward that.

Hoobs,

Agent 86 is like 700 miles away from you.... I, on the otherhand, am only 100 miles away in Lethbridge. Clearly the best option would be to store one or the other in my double garage next to my 91 coupe. Do not consider any other options, do not pass go and collect $200, deliver the vette to my place...oh, and don't forget the keys.

ps...one of these days I'm going to have to cruise over to the the Hat and check out your growing collection.
