I bought a 01 C-5 last summer and just love the heck out of it. It was a reaction of sorts to the death of my daughter. I rationalized the purchase with the idea that I would sell my 69 Nova to pay for it. Well it didn't sell and the C-5 and the Nova are tucked away for the winter. One of them have to go in the spring, and I can't make up my mind. The Nova is fun, but not the kind of car you can just go cruising in. The Vette is fun too as you all know and the kind of car I can go for a drive in and forget my troubles for a while. I worry a bit about affording to take care of the Vette though. I'm just a 40 k a year guy and anything too expensive will force me to park it. I know what all of you will say (keep the C-5) If I do have to let it go I can at least say I was fortunate enough to own one for a year. I did manage to repair a couple items myself and saved a bundle thanks to the forum. (ECBM and the headlight gear). Anyways I think I'm just venting for now. Lots of good knowledge here on the forum.

If you don't mod the bejesus out of it and don't beat the **** out of it then more than likely nothing major is going to break. Tough choice though.
