so long to my c5???
well... my wife is pregnant and i might have to get rid of the vette to free up some cash. as much as i love the car, i'm pretty excited about having another child as my daughter will be 10 this october. i'm only 26 so there will definitely be another vette in my future if i have to let this one go. this post is really more to just brag about the addition to my family.

lol. the car is more of a "toy" not a daily at all. which is dumb considering it gets better than my DD truck. but with all the bad drivers in dallas driving big trucks i'd rather be safe than sorry.

Just hide your Vette in my garage! I promise to "stir up the fluids" every once in a while!
Congrats on the new bundle of joy! I became a Godfather two days ago to a wonderful little gal!

If you have to sell wich we all do at times for one reason or another. I had to sell my 69' AMX but I sold it to a guy that I made a contract with which I had a option to buy back the car at a later time if I had the money for it. It worked out well for me and regained my AMX in the same shape I sold it in. He only had it for 2 years but took really good care of it. Just an idea.

If you already have a 10 year old you don't need advice from us
The bad news is they just keep getting more expensive
Hope you can work a plan to keep the Vette but family comes first
