Thinking of getting a vette

My current car is a 2003 Maxima, and I am also getting a Vette (I'm past the point of considering it; it's happening). My car was pretty fun for about 2 years, and it's an auto with 255 HP, front wheel-drive, 4 doors, etc. I modded it to my liking, but after 2 years it lost its novelty. I am sure that a 2 door car with 350+ HP will be more fun to drive for a longer period of time, especially being a Vette.

Not yet and its been a year. I did turn it into a garage queen though as of late. I was sick of the traffic jams, road debrie & fellow idiot drivers coming way to close to my car for comfort. I ended up getting another car for daily driving after 6 months of ownership. Now that F'n gas is BS high I don,t mind using the mazda everyday. But when I take out the C5 occasionally Its almost like the first time again. You will love the car.

I picked up my vette on August 3rd.. first I've had. I have to tell you, this is a GREAT car. I had my last car for 15 years, and I'm still shaking my head on why I didn't upgrade earlier!

Mine is my daily driver, but what really pains me is when I get home from work and we need to go somewhere with the family, which seems to be every day, we have to take the wife's vehicle and my poor car has to stay home all alone, when I'd rather be out driving it. Saves on the miles, but miss driving the rocket ship.

My daily driver is an '01 F-150 (work at a hospital, don't want to park the 'Vette in the parking garage). But everytime I drive the 'Vette it's like the first time (and not that slopply fumbling around in the dark first time some of you might be thinking of...)
