Default Looking for psychological help !

I have heard of buyers remorse but I guess I am suffering from sellers remorse !

Last month I sold my 02 with 35,000 miles and I am having sleepless nights since ! Probably why I am writing this at 1:52 AM.

My son is going for another year at university and well something (or someone) had to give. I guess that was me. So has anybody found ways of dealing with this type of withdrawal short of buying another Vette, which I am going to do but not for some time yet.

Are there any support groups for this, I looked but Corvette Central doesn't sell them ? Tiddlywinks perhaps ?

Possibly when he finishes with his degree you may find you feel better about that than you did about the vette, and . . .you will be able to buy one for a lot less by then

In six months, the economy will be better (I hope) and you will make more money (an increase in pay or the stock market or selling on ebay) and you will be able to finance another C-5 with interest rated as low as they are. I see thru rose colored glasses.

Look at the bright side. At least you had something to sell for what I imagine a good price. I have a whole collection of stuff worth pennies on the dollar from what I spent. I could make you a great deal on a Harley if you miss polishing something.

If you were in W PA, my ex is an excellent psycologist. Unfortunately, she couldn't straighten me out.

Been there, done that. After a year and two months of no Vette, I ended up buying another one. Just save what money you can in your Vette fund and when you son gets out of college, take the plunge again.

I have just as much fun looking for the next one as I do driving the one I already own.

Needs to be lowered. What off-sets are those C6 Z06 wheels? Not digging the two-tone paint scheme.
