Put a supercharger on it..it won't be boring anymore. My Jeep is boring..except in the winter when it climbs through 7 foot snowstorms so I can ski in them....

why there is no reason to lock this thread

I am now thinking about keeping the vette I drove a 2000 jeep on larger tires with 106 K on it.It was ok but they wanted me to pay 3 K plus my vette.Thats funny when there asking price was 8K.
I will not give my vette away it's in mint condition with 74 K on the clock.I guess if I do decide to get a Jeep I will have to sell the vette myself.

This is the jeep I looked at

Default Keep the 'vette!

No-no-no-no-noo! Keep the 'vette, put a supercharger on as MFI suggested, buy the wife her jeep and keep her old car as your DD.

This is no reason to sell your vette. Jimminy Crickets I drive my vette in the rain every day of the week for six months out of the year. With the right tires my vette drives, turns and brakes quite well at speeds far in excess of what we drive on the road (of course I only exceed those speeds when on a track) even when its raining. Do you have to exhibit a little more care when driving in the rain? ... yep you do .... but it sure aint boring.

You want to have more "fun" driving an A4 vette? Drop in a 3200 stall TC.

Fact is, not having a six speed allows you to keep both hands on the wheel when having "fun"
