My car has been payed off for nearly 3 years, purchased nearly 4 years ago....Insurance is really inexpensive(for me)even in south Florida where people can't drive to save their lives, or yours for that matter....

Ins. is $89/month for full coverage......

Chicks like fbodies because of t-tops but they also love the vette because of the targa top. I realize I'm part of the few guys that went with the targa but the ladies love it...except when they just did their hair, then they just complain how they are going to have to redo it. As far as yellow my ex loved yellow vettes and fbodies.

28 years old, 01 C5 Coupe with mild bolt ons.......=)

And I still finance mine, I have much better investments to tie up liquid assets. I got an amazing deal on my car and its worth more than I owe so I will probably keep it that way!

I started off in sports car being an import owner had a 400 hp 93 RX-7 R1, then went over to luxury cars with multiple Cadillacs and BMW's and one Infiniti. Then had an 05 CTS, 99 Cobra Vert and 06 XC90 V8. Sold the 05 CTS and bought my Vette and then after a while someone made me an offer damn near what I paid for my Vette on my Cobra! So now the Vette is my DD!
