The Things a Desperate Man Will Do for a C7

Once I got the C7 bug, nothing else mattered anymore! Sold my boat, my favorite car and other stuff to scrape together enough $$$ to pay for the new Stingray. Wanted a new Z06, but would have had to knock over a couple 7-Elevens to afford that. Anyone else that desperate to own a new C7???

To each his own. I like the toys have.

Understand - but NO WAY I could part with the boat. It is however killing me to part with a mint very low mileage 2006 C6 Z51 vert. God I love this car, but two are not practical at this time. Still have an old 1979 C3, but the C6 is a different story. Waiting to see what 2016 brings (4/23 announcements) or a 2015 C7 Z71 in blade silver and red int.

Sold my 2001 Hummer H1 and 08 VW R32 for my 15 Z51 3LT. I'm afraid I'm going to miss that Hummer.

Your Camaro > C7

C7 - That Camaro = bad move. Just my opinion.
