This thread makes me think of the story of two bulls standing on top of a hill looking down at a field of cows. The young bull says "lets race down the hill and get us a cow." While the older, wiser bull says, "lets walk down the hill and get them all."
Yeah, I'm a older(38 and that's not old), wiser bull these days. I have the vette of my choice and I think I'll keep her just the way she is. She doesn't have to be my daily driver and she's not going to be. But I'm gonna get on her whenever I want.
She may be a "garage queen" to some. (19K Miles) But, man she turns heads whereever we go and she has as much get up and go as the day she rolled off the line.
To each his own fellas. If I do ever go to sell her, someone will not steal her as you guys indicate. The price will be above average or I'll hang onto her. It's that simple. I have children to pass the car along to, and if they want to sell it so be it. In the meantime I'm enjoying the hell out of my ride.
Enjoy your vette how ever you like. We all have a car that numerous other people only dream of.

Amen!! I have almost as much fun going out in the garage rubbing on my Corvette as I do driving it. Mine is a weekend toy that only comes out on nice days. What counts is what makes you happy with your Corvette.
