I've been here for about 5 years, had the car for over 6...

I didn't ever think I'd let her go, but it's time for me to make some big changes... but it's not like I can't get another one --- or buy mine back down the line when I have more garage space, right?

What were your thoughts when you got your C5?

Dave, only you know what is best. I know you will miss your beautiful vette. Good luck with a tough decision.

Dave, are you serious!? I love your vette and would hate to see you part with it after all the work you've done, but only you know what's best. If it's garage space you need, I have an extra bay and would be willing to "house" it for you... But I'm not giving you a warranty on your rear tires

Me personally, I plan on keeping it forever. I'm 24 now and have way too much time and energy into her to take a loss on my mods. Plus this is my first performance car and would not have any other corvette over it.

I think it depends on what kind of a car guy you are.

Most people on here would never let their pride and joy's go, I on the other hand get extremely bored with anything LOL. I on average build a car for 3 years and then start another project. I say keep it unless you can replace it with something YOU feel is better or at least a new challenge.

If I had the money I would love to have kept all of my builds but the reality is I am POOR
