The funny thing is, my insurance went down after getting my Vette and getting rid of the Toaster. Who would have thought that was possible. I saved around $20 a month on insurance, and the kicker is my Corvette gets nearly as good a gas mileage when I stay out of it. What is the fun in that though?

Bought this Crossfire new and six months traded it for the vette. The car only had 3,400 miles on it when I traded and I hadn't even changed the oil in it. Asked one day where the title for the crossfire was, told my lovely wife to get ready and drove the car to the dealership and did the deal. Vette had 6,000 miles (04 Coupe) and I took a bath on the trade. Between the bath and the mod's I could have easily bought a C6 Vert. No regrets except that the wife loved driving this car and she reminds everyone that she didn't have much to say in the vette.

I bought my vette last summer. I didn't give up my Z/28 then but I've decided to sell it now. Not enough space in the garage and not enough time and money for both cars (I also have a Dodge Dakota). And my wife wants a new Solstice. Anyway, it's up for sale now. Very sad, I raised her from a pup and she's got 10k in her.

My 93 Z28 was totaled so I needed another fast car ( it had a fresh 396, no slouch ) so I traded in my 02 Silverado for the Z. Never regretted it once.

Gave up my 2005 Graystone Pontiac Grand Prix GXP, great car but I needed MORE POWER (and to the rear wheels).

I liked this car but fwd sucks so bad!!!
And with the mods, I was averaging ~16 mpg. Go figure, my vette has more hp, can put the power to the ground and gets better mileage. How could I go wrong? I love this vette!!
Now we're up to 5.

I had a 1996 Impala SS...
...and a 1991 Z-29 convertible.
...when my C5 came back from a lease return. I feel in love.
I was actually going to keep the Z-28 but I found that I never drove it. Any nice day and I would want to take the C5.
