Vette(s): 1968 Corvette T-Top Coupe, 427 L71, Rally Red Exterior, Saddle Interior

Had another sunny day yesterday so I pulled the girl out and gave her a bath.  Had to run a few errands, so my girl was out by herself and apparently was flirting.  A guy knocked on the door and asked my wife if I would sell the Vette!

Of course my wife would love to get rid of it as she wants something she feels comfortable driving (she would like a C5 or C6 or Honda S2000).  So I came home and was immediately presented with a phone number saying this "guy wants to buy your Vette."  Think I should call him?

Nope!!!!!!!!!!!

Just tell him to get in touch with me, everything I own has a price! All you have to do is get enough cash to buy better than you're selling. Got an L-71? Sell it for enough to get an L-89! Or if you're into quantity, get 2 small block cars for what you get from your Tri-Power car!

That would work for wives as well.  Two for the price of one.  Don't know if I could do that.

Vette(s): 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Just bought it from my uncle who owned it since 1971. Fathom green, green interior. 350/300, T400.

About 10 years ago I let my wife talk me into selling my '70 Boss 302 for $10k, years later I realize I should've kept the car, I got along much better with it and whenever it made me mad I went in the house and it didn't follow me in nagging!

There is not one day that goes by when my dad regrets selling all the cars hes'd owned. He has owned a 6 pack shaker hood cuda, like 4 C3s including the '78 anniversery, '75, and I believe it was a '72, he hada a 240Z datsun, a '71 Camaro, I know he had more I need to ask him. I've seen all the pictures of him sitting on the cars, k00l. He always had his cool black/orange stripped addidas shoes, tiha  perm, and his boots.... my dad was prob like the fonzy of the 70's l00l.

We all have our regrets about the cars we've sold and those we've passed up, but we also make our decisions based upon our personal situations at the time and the best information at the time. I've done the same with cars and in other hobbies I've enjoyed.

When I was first married it seemed the right thing to do...when I got divorced it was definitely the right thing to do!

Life goes on and we continue to make decisions as best we can. If we could know the future I would have bought all the Microsoft stock I could when it first went public...the same goes for Enron and then sold it at $100 a share instead of hold it and lose my a$$ like I did.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
I have owned close to 40 cars.  Most a low buck pieces that I repaired and made money with.  But there are a few I wish I still owned.  I think we all had some of those.  My Vette stays!kstyer38412.3255324074
