Having crazy thoughts

Every year around my birthday, I tend to splurge. Well, it was b-day yesterday and now I'm having crazy ideas. I pu my 50th AE last year on my bday with only 800 miles and already put in 7k. I also put in new exhaust, CAI, etc...the usual mods. Well, was snopping around the C6 Z06 and saw the pics for the 427. My bro has a RF and I always wanted a red z. Now, I am thinking of trading my AE to get the 427 special. Got some stock options that are about to expire and use some of it to pay. Just an idea. I do love my AE, but damn that 427 looks bad!

If you believe it's a logical progression, go for it. If this is a purely emotional thought, I'd give it some time.

If you think the same way I think, you will regret selling your current car in a few months, but if you can tough it out, go a head man.

I was hoping you guys would talk me out of it.

The mark is high, that may turn me off right now. They want 10k over sticker making it close to 100k.

I have an AE Vert, first I thought don`t mess with it. Now I think how much more special to have a modded AE. The key is FUN and ENJOY, IMO. Keep the AE !

Peace,

I say slap an ECS or A&A blower kit on your AE and be done for a while.

10k over? I was going to say do it til I read that. Take the 10k and but a blower for your AE. That'll put a big smile on your face.

Nothing like using your stock options to purchase a depreciating asset. If your only expected return is smiles, and it is just risk money then go for it
