Vette(s): #1 -1969 Corvette Coupe Riverside Gold, black interior,MN,A/C,350/350,PS,PB,window cranks.
#2 -2000 C5, black/black, 6 sp, Bose system & lots of buttons.
I'm having a terrible problem......and the problem is I would kinda like to have a NEW Vette. 
I don't have a warrenty on the C3 or the C5. Mainly, the warrenty thing sounds really good and very practicle/logical on a new one. I don't really like the headlights or where they put "C O R V E T T E" on the C6's. I don't like the push button start on the dash either (it's different). Don't want to get rid of the C3. I thought about trading in the C5....but it's become an "old buddy." The main problem is I don't have a place to put a new C6. One car would have to be outside with a cover on it. Why am I having such a hard time stopping myself from thinking and looking at the new C6's??? It's an awful delima...........

If the beans counter says it's ok; go ahead and get the C6. Let the C5 sleep outside. I'm just glad you didn't even think of selling the C3.
I had my mid-life crisis about 3 times already. Always regretted it the following month or 2, then it gets better (and I'm 33, so I got a few more to go).

..Measure the garage??

Trade in the C5. You won't regret it.
And just forget about the depreciation factor. The really good things in life ain't free.

Have you taken a C6 for a drive? I mean really drive one, like for a day or 2? I have and it changed my mind. I like the exterior looks and performance. I don't like the cheesy interior. It is pretty pathetic for a $53K car. (mostly colored plastic)
It was small inside and the vert was smaller. Mrs. Tux said no right outta the chute unless it was gonna be my car. I had more issuses with lettin go of the dough for the car it just wasn't what I expected it to be for the value... Just my .02 and not meant to offend!Tuxblacray 2007-07-26 03:19:50

GO DRIVE THE CAR(`06) QUITE IMPRESSIVE. I`VE CONSIDERED TRADING IN MY C5. YOU CAN UPGRADE TO BODY COLOR OR CARBON COMPOSITE PANELS ON THE INTERIOR AND THEY LOOK MUCH BETTER THAN THE BLACK PLASTIC. ALL IT TAKES IS MONEY AND HOW MUCH YOUR WILLING TO PART WITH. AS FOR THE MID-=LIFE CRISIS WELL I`VE HAD THEM ALL MY LIFE .I`M ONLY 47. ENJOY THE RIDE
Naah!
The way my wife and I see it is "we all only have one life to live and you can't take the possessions with us, we can leave them for our children."
As long as you can afford it, go for it. I like the stacker idea, measure the garage, enjoy all three.

I'm experiencing the same thing, Micki. It's gotta be mid-life for me...I want a new Vette, a new Mustang and a Vette for Mike. I feel the need to buy a new daily driver but it has to be sporty. But I'd love to have a new or newer Vette. It's a dilemma...what to do.... 
I gotta wait it out a while and see what happens. May have a new job opportunity on the horizon. That could change the picture a tad!
I agree that if you have the money, go for it!!! One can never have too many Vettes!!!

Well said Karen. ......Micki.... I should have your problems girl. ( Oh ! I forgot, I do. I don't have the room to park any more vettes, But I don't have the money either, so I guess it's just as well). I think I need to talk to the wife about that 3rd job she's always wanted
