Yessss!

A small miracle has happened today. Since there has been no serious interest in anyone buying my Corvette, my parents are letting me keep the Corvette and the other car that I inherited from my great grandpa. They say they would like me to see if there is any offers this week, but that if I wanted to, I could have them both. So it looks like I will be a C4 guy for a little while more.

Nah, I've got two cars and my vette is the one that is pretty much my daily driver. Congrats though...it's certainly convenient at times to have two cars.

Just hate the extra insurance.

I'm confused - why are your parents telling you what you can and cannot do?

I inherited a lincoln mark 7 LSC from my great grandpa. My parents wanted me to get rid of the Vette since it was worth more and could pay towards school. Another factor was lack of parking spots for me to have both cars. Since no buyers showed any serious interest, my parents agreed to let me keep both of the cars, albeit I must forfeit the garage for my Dads new Cadillac. Another plus of the Lincoln though, is my insurace on the Vette went down to around $1k a year.
