Default Who loves their C5?

With all the posts about selling/trading up or down, drooling and whatnot, who actually wants to keep their C5?

I'll be first....It's staying and I actually wouldn't give it up.



Dreams do come true....

Do I love my C5? Sure do!
But if someone offered me the right amount of $, I'd sell it. About 95% chance I'd buy another C5 though!

I love my C5 and plan to keep it for at least the next couple of years. I do like the look of the C7 and hope to have one as my next Vette.

I will continue to love my 04 TRZ until I can find the money to move up to a C6Z!

I do love my C5, after 10 years and all the mods I couldn't bear to part with it. Besides... Not having to make monthly payments and having the title in hand for many years now is a blessing.

The people buying C7's can have fun with payments and sales tax. The bloom will come off the rose for those cars as well.

I have a 2000 FRC and each time I start the car I hope that I don't have the dreaded EBCM problem. If I could I'd dump it tomorrow for a C7. With parts being a problem now and at my age, I just want to drive and not worry.
