Kevin, I think you know the answer. You want someone to say it is OK to get the vette. However, we are parents and with 2 young boys it would be tough to do separate outings. F-bodies allow you to have the best of both worlds. The wife, kids, and you on weekend cruises in a nice Camaro or Firebird, what's not to like. You will know when the time is right for a 2 seater. My time came last year. The wife and I bought a 95 coupe for US. "Me" time is limited as a parent with young kids. Get something you all can enjoy together. Believe me, you will be amazed at how quickly they grow up. And when the time is right, that vette will be waiting for you. Good luck.

If I choose to have a family I have a family and they are my focus but with that said you can make work whatever you decide.

Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it.
When I was younger, and before I could afford any car, I would often dream about the cars I would like to own someday as I am sure everyone here did. Most of my time was spent day dreaming about 69 Camaros and the 93 F-cars (I was 16 when they came out). I loved the C4s just as much, but they always remained just a dream, something only a privileged few would get to own. The F-bodies were at least something I felt i had a realistic chance of owning someday. That day came in 99 when I bought a 94 TA, which I had for several years, and then had to sell for a more responsible commuter car (diesel VW Golf!). I've always regretted selling that car, but I knew I'd have another chance at a car like that someday. As life progressed, priorities changed and resources diverted to other needs. I had the opportunities to get other cars during those times, but at best they were projects, which never got the time or money they deserved. Now I find myself at a crossroads of sorts. We have sold our home, and my wife has agreed to let me use some of our profits to buy another car, one that I intend to keep and enjoy for a long time. I have the chance now, to get something I once thought I could never have achieved. I want that special feeling of "wow, this is mine". I want to share that with my boys too. I know what it is I want...just time now to pull the trigger
