Default I have a problem.

Ok, here is my problem. It has nothing to do with my 03 Vert. I am getting this very bad itch about a C6 Z. I would just love to have one. I will keep the 03 no matter what. I have the money to pay cash for a low mileage used Z. I do not want to spend 80k on a new one. My only issue is that I will not have any place to put it. I live in Pittsburgh, PA and the weather would not be kind to a black Z sitting outside. My Vert and Harley take up the garage. My girlfirend keeps telling me to just get it, but then says, where are you going to put it. I don't know what to do. I know if I find the one that I want, it will come home with me.

If you can afford to get a lift or add on to your garage then that's what I would suggest. If not, just sit back and realize that when you eventually have a place to store another car indoors, that C6 Z will be even more affordable.

Gee, really tough problem to have. Rent a storage space if you are worried about it sitting outside - that might be a good short term solution. I know if I were adding a C6Z to my garage, I'm afraid the C5 would be sitting outside.

Take that cash and upgrade to a new house with a larger garage...or better yet, multiple garages then get the car.
