Sad day. So long Z, it's been great.

Congrats on the new C7! One of those is on my short list for future cars.

Congrats on the vette.

I have always been a vette guy and can afford either. For a DD I think a Z that is set up right has a touch more 'elegance' than the vette. The vette is a great car the morph's between a dependable, easy on fuel, civilized car to a race car with a push of the gas peddle.

Best of luck.

I agree with this quite a bit. The Z would probably be a better DD. It's a bit higher off the ground, doesn't scrape as much. The suspension is a bit softer. Ingress/Egress is easier.

And the Vette is exactly how you describe it, imo.

Excellent choice on your new purchase. I have been seeing quite a few 14s out west here and they are plain sexy as hell! I was pretty cool last Sunday when pulled aside a old guy...my age in a velocity yellow and black 14. We exchange thumbs up as we headed different directions on the 215 interchange in Henderson (Las Vega area).

The deal about being older and having some expendable cash is that you get to choose your poison and if you don't like it you can do something different. It's funny, if you are in your 20s or 30s you are a ricer, then when you hit your 40s and 50s you are middle age crazy! You got to love labels!!!

Congrats on the C7. A silver LT1 with the Z51 package, red brakes, black wheels, and a proper manual tranny is what I would do. Not that I've thought about it much

Did I say congratulations!
