Seems you're a car nut like most of us, and budding collector. Deloreans are available for daily driver prices -- around $12K for a decent one. Save your money and fill your dream -- it's worth it.

If I wish I had something other than corvettes, it's one of two reasons which I'll explain:
1) The stuck-up owners.. A-holes that think these cars should appreciate all the way to $100K so no one else can buy it but their own selfish, basically people that feel superior about having a vette while degrading other people. I'm all for it as long as you treat the car with respect, I don't care if you are black, white, yellow, or brown, make $100K or make $50K (if you save up money, nothing wrong with that), 20 years old or 60 years old.
2) The corvette tax.. Exact/similiar parts for other cars with double the price. But I do see decent price items all the time. Intakes are a good example.. not really that much more. But there are items that are way overpriced.
As for driving something else, I guess a vette does feel a little big. But a small car is not good for cruising. So you might as well get like a civic for DD and vette for weekend.

I'm 57, just got my first vette. I also wanted one back at 15. Funds, life, family, all came first or got in the way. Glad I got one. Also not the fastest car I've owned. But the fastest I've had in awhile. Yeah all the market studies show I'm the prime meat to buy these toys. Almost cut my hair, happened just the other day. 57 working my way up to 24. I'll be there soon. Always enjoy your vette wether a GQ, DD, or GOFAST.
