Default Seller's remorse

Well for some reason I sold my '07 a couple of months ago and I really do miss it. I wasn't driving it much ( a little over 10,000 miles in 3 1/2 years). I guess I had a case of the guilts for not driving it. Anyway got to start the process of getting another vette. I expect I am not the only idiot that has done a stunt like that. Thank you, I think I feel better already.

I did the same thing with my C4. Got my C6 a few years later ( kids college had priority ) and will not make that mistake again, unless absolutely necessary. Boy did I miss the fun with that car, but very happy with the C6. Good luck with your search,,,which is part of the fun,,,,,

Get another one pronto. Do a upgrade from your other one, get sumptin with more power to make up for lost time.

When you get it do a huge rocket launch start up to 80 and all remorse will be gone.

Might as well face it you're addicted to vettes. You went cold turkey and now you've got the shakes. Get help or give in and get another vette.

...I'd get another vette.

You know if it is only driven 3K a year . I can see why you sold it.If you have no plans to drive the next one . Why have one? Live without it awhile longer and see.

I got rid of my '81 back in 1992 when my X wife got pregnant. It took 16 years, but I have been back in the saddle for 1.5 years with my C6. It will NEVER happen again.

I did the same thing I had a C6 05 and sold it in 08 but after a few months I really missed having one so a few months before I retired in 2010 I bought a C6 2010.

Unfortunately you don't know what you have until you don't have it. Find another one and drive it more. I put about 10k on mine per year and it is not my daily driver (that only sees about 8k per year).
