I'm in the auto body business. I bought my 99 wrecked in Sept. When it's all said & done I am not so sure how much I really will have saved if anything. I sure don't expect to ever sell it for a profit. I do that with everyday type cars like Grand Prixs and Malibus. But it is the exact car I was looking for.

I think that sometimes you need to separate business from pleasure. That gets a little confusing sometimes when your hobby and business are so closely related. We all like to have things that make us happy. If owning this particular Vette does that for you, I say quit counting and enjoy it. Go sell a couple other cars.
