I would start with the one i enjoy driving the least other than the dodge... Vettes and camaros don't make very good family vehicles.

Vette, you would probably get the most $ out of it compared to the others.

Sell both cars, keep the more useful truck. Buy better toys later when you can afford them again.

x3. I like my car, but it would get the axe tomorrow if something more pressing came up. :2cents:

family first, Sell the one that you have personaly worked on less or have less of an attachment too. You can always buy back just a car or upgrade later.

I agree 100% with this statement. The cars are simply toys and they can always be replaced. Who knows, the next time you may decide to go a different route. If the truck is also paid in full, I would also consider selling that too. It is afterall at its highest value at this time. Unemployment is high and many people who have been out of work for six plus months actually have not even received a nibble in respect of a job offer. Again, no disrespect intended, but material things can always be replaced. Sell all three and buy and economy car second hand of course until the cloud passes. I wish you hope and luck in finding something sooner rather then later.....I need just that too at this time.

+1 jobless for 6 months, with 2 toys, a nice pickup, and a son seem kind of rediculous. I would probably sell the z06 first.

best bet would probably sell the z06 and use part of the money to buy a small passenger car that gets better mileage than the dodge. just pick up a beater 4 door civic and wait it out =/
