Default Any Corvette switchbacks out there

Last year I sold my C6 for a Shelby GT after 6 months I realized it did not give me same driving experience and enjoyment as the C6. I went into the dealer and bought a Jetstream Blue C6 and took the painful hit. Just curious to see if this has happened to any of my fellow forum members.

I traded my C5Z for an E55 AMG. I traded that for an SRT8 GC. I sold that and bought an '08 coupe.

I just added a 370Z. But, because the vette is the first car I have ever kept until paid off, and because I have always regretted a little getting rid of past cars, I decided to keep it and add the new car, not replace, as I still really love the vette too. I just have a disease that needs a yearly fix, and we love the vette and tahoe, and my wife's Z4 lease isn't over for a whole nother year, so I had to do something!

I had my C5 for almost 5 years, I thought I wanted the offroad thing so I ended up getting a Hummer H1. I could only take it for a year before I missed my Vette. Don't get me wrong I still like going off road, but that is why the wife has the H3
