Help me, my wife wants this car, what can I do to distract her? We test drove one at the dealer today and that only made it worse. Those things are crazy fast. I bagged it on a long off ramp and instantly was doing 100 in 3rd gear.

Thats not transportation, it's a toy
We Americans love our cars, don't we?
How many times have you heard (or said), "I'll always have a car payment"?
That's the normal way of thinking. But NORMAL is broke. Why pay $60,000 for a car over time, that you will pay $80,000 for and be worth $35,000 when your done?! By time you saved this much money, hopefully you would have enough savvy to put it into something that will let your money work for you on the way to financial independance from the bank, instead of paying for depriciating Detroit Steel.

You only live once, In the end the person with the most toys wins.
My other vehicles are both paid for so why not. This one is already 75% paid for. I didn't buy it new, its an 07 and some other person took the big hit on the depreciation. My wife works hard and asks for very little unlike some of the high maintenance women out there, so this is nothing.good choice

they sit looooow. As tinner has all ready said, check out the corvette forum.Dont know how. E-mailed it to ya.post it up.
I originally thought the yellow was okay, but it has since turned me off. It doesnt matter though as it is her car not mine. Lots of luck with it, but you already had your luck I would think. Man, its a beautifull 71 degrees today with no humidity to speak of, and I just cant bring myself to drive the 'bird to work. Thats why it needs to go. Fortunately the "executive" pickup truck does have the moonroof and power sliding rear window so it wasnt too bad. not like the days driving the vettes to work though.

Is that a 74? I had a 76 when I was in high school (Just a couple decades ago)that I had decked out pretty nice. Alcohol and a skunk took care of that car.its just a small block 350
