Wife has been wanting us to get a vette for a while. We’re at a point where I thought it would be no big deal based on my mid 2000s idea of what a vette costs, so I go and “build and price” exactly what I want.
$150k holy fuck

Damn.. I think a C5 is around $70k. Pretty cool car. If I had $150k to throw at an automobile I wouldn't be looking at a 'vette though.

Talk her into a Miata, they're a Hell of a lot of fun. Even more so if she's willing to learn to drive a manual.

He called on us one day in a bright yellow vette that looked like it was fresh off the track. He peeled out of the parking lot and smoked the tires for a quarter mile. A year later i was holding his payment for failure to perform. He got caught cheating and lost it all. All the best! Enjoy!

You can get a C5 Corvette for $12-17k. There are a lot of them floating around here in central Ky. You can get a new C8 for $70k. |

The guy that does the fleet maintenance for the company I work for (in our area) had one. When he decided to get rid of it his dad wanted to buy it from him. His dad got in and I think drove it a little and then couldn’t get out of it because it was so low and uncomfortable (to him).
I’ve never even sat in a Vette except for a ‘57 one of my girlfriends dad owned back in the 90’s. |
