Without question. If I didn't, I'd sell it. I enjoy my new C7 as much as I enjoyed my new C3. The C7 is the ultimate in FC Corvettes. 👍

Well dang scratching head on what to do. now we are on the brink of WWIII and economy starting to tank is probably a way the world is telling me to hold off on purchase

I'm not sure how much I'd over think all that's going on. If in 2 months things calm back down but the price of this car goes up, will you regret not buying it now?

I mean, obviously, if it could cause you financial distress, hold off. But there's always gonna be something going on. Sometimes taking the leap and just enjoying life is just greater than all the worry. And this is coming from someone who stresses about everything and way over paid for the Z I just bought (in a normal market).

@ZedConn very good points as that was my attitude in the first place going in for the first place. Have a life to live or live your life is a motto i need to get back to

It's hard when you have the personality type that always asks "what if??" and anticipates the worst. So I totally get that.
But...in the end...in most cases...it's never as bad as our minds make it out to be. 😊

Compared to when I bought my first new Corvette, this is nothing. If you're waiting for World Peace and the Economy to be to your liking, you'd never leave your 🏠 house.

If money is that tight, then I would hold off. Otherwise, I suggest going ahead and getting the car you want because life is short.

I myself use it every drive and every track day. I am considering the Escort dash cam for my daily driver as well.. I love bringing up the Cosworth program to see how my Corvette did on the trip to the Grocery store...

That's what I did. I was bit by the cancer bug and after my surgery and chemo treatments, I traded a perfectly good C6 grandsport that I was very happy with for a C7 Z06. I looked at it this way. I wanted to enjoy some of the money I saved my all of my adult life while I'm still able before someone else does.

Worth every penny as a track tool. Enormously overpriced as a dash cam.
