I don't think it's really fighting vs passionate about what you like or can afford. I love the look of the C 5 and not the C 6 and cannot afford a C 7 !!!!

I've read through all the post up to this point and when I ran across this one I about fell out my chair. Cruel but spot on 
SFC Rick you have to admit RSbeast's comment was a good one.

Count me in!
I had a photo of the C7 on my fridge for over a year thinking I'd get warm to it -- I didn't. I checked C7s out at two dealerships -- still nothing. After every hopeful try, it still looks like it's aimed at 15 year old gamers and the "Hey, look at me!" crowd. Just hit 40K miles on my C5, and looking forward to 40K more!

(65)young only when I'm driving my 99, which costs me 430 for 6 months, and my DD driver is another 400 for 6 months. I have no tickets or accidents in over 10 years. My Vette costs me 17 a month during winter. And again the only C 7 I would have is a Black ZO 6 !!! way over what I can afford. So when it comes down to it I can have a Corvette as long as I can afford it, and I love my C 5 !!!

I don't understand this, you honestly kept a picture of a car you don't like on your refrigerator hoping to get warmed up to it? This seems like bs to me. If it's not I'm sorry but I still don't get why one would do this.

If you're like me, you couldn't care less what any portion (large or small) of the population thinks about your ride. I didn't buy mine to show off, I bought it for the enjoyment of driving it. But that's just me. You on the other hand might actually care (or like to show off).
I got the supercharger to show off

I'd like to have a C7, but the thought of parting with that much money along with the fact they would give me a ridiculously low amount for my C5 keeps the C5 in the garage. Besides I really do like my C5 - it has been a trouble free car for the 7+ years I have owned it, has classic styling, still puts a smile on my face when I drive it and best of all, it is paid for.
If anything, I think my next Corvette purchase will be a C6 GS. I fit nicely in the C6 and I like those Grand Sports.
