There's a 99 Vette with a Magnuson for sale that looks good, too.

Mark (C5 Pig) was/is only selling his car so he could buy a new Z06 I think but it's still a shame to see happen. 
I personally may NEVER sell my Z28, I love that car.

I miss having a quick car. The GTO is a slug and it doesn't make sense to do much with it....
In my case I was just bored with what I had, that happens....

That can be the case. In mine the car was paid off and I wanted to free up the cash. I already had a clean '86 GT at the time. The problem was I was too spoiled by the way the Formy handled/brakes and it made me not like driving the '86 GT either, so I sold that a few months ago....Our situation was/is a little different as well as we moved from NJ to NC and I wanted to have liquid reserves in case one of us had trouble finding a job etc....
I never had an issue with the practicality of my FBod. I thought it had a fair amount of useable storage space and I was pretty comfortable driving it....

I was at the same cross roads as well...
But now the car is in the garage, covered, paid off and for fun driving only. It's loud, obnoxious but it makes me smile.
At this point, I have no interest in ever selling it becaue I've owned it since it came off the carrier with 17 miles on it.
If I wasn't attatched to it, I'd probably get a 03-04 Z06, but I still love the looks of the T/As.
To each his own I guess.
