Thanks for al the help so far.

I see a lot of various years for sale online and in print. Just wondering why a Corvette enthusiast would no longer own one? I've talked to many sports car enthusiasts who say with pride that they 'once' owned a Corvette. I wonder why it is no longer appealing to continue owning for many? Any suggestions?

Sports cars are like sexy women. Guys change tastes or can't afford the upkeep.

Have a Torch Red 94. Love the car. Not a big fan for using as a daily driver and would not take it out in crappy weather because what's the point of doing so. I think you can read a lot of scary stuff about the car which would frighten and you need to get past all of it. Engine can last 200+. Gets about the same gas milelage as my Grand Marquis. 20-21 overall 27-28 on trips to FL. --depends on how hard you put your foot into it. Car does not like bad bumpy roads and lets you know it. Smooth roads are better than sex. Tons of low end torque lets you get off the line in a hurry. Leaves everyone in the dust on smooth corners and curves. No big worries on getting rid of it when soccer mommy needs the money for a new van. Everyone needs to own one of these in his/her lifetime. Dont wait too long like me.
