Vetteless
It's been a couple of weeks now since I sold my Vert and it hasn't gotten any easier. I don't regret the decision, since it had to be made, but I do miss the Vette. The only thing I don't miss is the mod bug. 
It's no coincidence that I went with white, it's sort of to keep the memory of my Vert alive along with a poster that will go up in my garage. 
My 4 year old son is still asking me when my Vette is coming home. It will be a few years, but I will have another Vette.

That new 'burban is beautiful though!
I loved my Suburban. It was a 95. I sold it to my sister in law about 4 years ago and she's still going strong with over 200k miles. Yes, she has a name too. Marge

But why sell it when you already had an SUV type vehicle? (I admit, I really like those Infiniti's) But.....you already have the family toting vehicle..should have kept the Vette. There would be nothing worse for me than making a HUGE payment on an SUV (those new suburbans are nice but $$$$)
You'll be back.

It was definately hard to let it go. With 3 kids ages 5, 4 and 1 month, the Inifiniti just wasn't cutting it space wise. I originally started out to buy a Tahoe, but figured if room was what I was after, then the Suburban was the best choice. It was a tough decision for everyone, including the wife, but we all agreed that in 3 years tops I would buy another Vette. I'm hoping the C6 Z06 used car market puts it within reach, otherwise another C5 Z or Vert is in my future.

You guys aren't helping. I know the mod bug has a slippery slope and I am trying to resist. I don't think I will lower it, but haven't ruled out a cat back or some 22's. It rides real nice as is, though I did test drive one with 22's and it still rode great. The less money I spend on this will leave more money to spend on my future Vette purchase so I am trying to resist. So far it's working but we'll see.

I would not unload my C5 unless there was absolutely no other way to get around selling it. Just one more reason to be glad it is all paid for.Hope you manage to buy another Vette very soon
