Require-'Serious'-Input,C7vs,Wife,love my C6
Where do I start, okay so you know, I am older, had 15 Corvettes, and well, several, now, will donate to the NCM. Thought you'd like some background, to reply, 'with an honest answer', on a footnote, that is why I stayed a 'Junior-Member', seems a lot of well, 'Dislike', here for older people, so have staying away, for months, okay, I vented, felt great! lol
Now to my Topic:-)
Wife (Usually), never says-(NO), to me, 'I am talking about-Money lol, well started to say, 'Investments', but we all know, 'That's not the case', at least as per a return on a car, well 'as the old economic-rule', basically it is satisfaction, as per money out lay..( Opps-almost said, 'Investment') lol
Topic now, sorry, I got thought you'd like background to assist me with an open and honest answer. Here's my situation, I purchased Blue, a 2012 Corvette Convertible, love her, health has deteriorated, but heck we all have something. I only, have 2K miles on her, purchased off the showroom floor. Thinking as per a C7, same car, with the Camaro tail lights(lol), trying to handle (THAT), will back her in.:-)
Should I do this, as per the purchase, or, well, live with incubus ? Bob

I was kinda wondering the same as all of you...I think he has enjoyed many Vettes and has a fairly new C6 that his wife loves but since he has failing health he would like to have a C7 while he is still here...
He is querying us for an opinion about trading for the C7...

Tough read for sure.
Buy what you want....time is short. If you can afford it go for it, ya can't take it with you.

1. Huh???
2. We don't dislike older members, we don't discriminate, we pick on everyone.
3. HUH????
4. I think the translators may be right, I say get the new C7 if you can afford it, which seems to be the case
5. Give the C6 to the wife since she likes it so much and sell off your other ones instead of donating to the museum.
6. If you do donate, they may get eaten by mother Earth, so cash in now.

If there is no money issue, you want a C7 get a C7. I love my C6(s) and I am not going to get rid of either of them, but if I had a boat load of extra money (win the lottery lol) I would get a C7Z06 in a heartbeat! The C7 is a great car, loads of good technology and, while the styling is a little edgy for me, I still like it. It drives great and handles great and goes like stink!
No oldster hater here - hehehe - I am one!

Wow
If Jeff's interpretation is what you meant, I say do what you want, assuming it is financially in the cards. Can't take it with you.

If money is not an issue buy what you want.
