This may sound very spoiled and bratty, but it is not meant to be. I have a 2005 base model Corvette. 84k miles. I've owned the car for 4 years now and I've enjoyed it. Recently, I've found myself driving the car less and I realized I've become bored with the car. (I know that sounds awful) Granted the weather hasn't been the best in Kentucky- lots of rain and a little chilly. So the top has come off very few times this year. It should start to warm up soon.

Anyway, I've tossed around the idea of selling it. It's a great car and has never caused me any issues, but it just doesn't light up my world like it used to.

I've thought about modding the car- wheels, cam, full exhaust. Currently the car is bone stock. But I don't know if I should dump several thousand dollars into the car.

A side note, I do have a 77 Vette that runs well but needs some attention.

Should I sell? Should I mod? What can I do to get out of this funk!?

I just don't know what to do my friends! Help me out!

If you are bored with it I would sell it and get something else. Do you know what that something else is? Throwing money at mods won't last long in my opinion. You can always come back.

If it doesn't do it for you sell it! Nothing wrong with changing your interests.
It would be wrong to let it sit there and depreciate.
Move on..

Do what you feel is right for you. You shouldn't let someone else's opinion
dictate what is right for you. Only you know what your heart and your head can determine whats best for you in your situation. If you sell it and miss it you can always come back

Take it to the track. That should boost your mojo a bit

Are you typically bored with things after a while? If so, then maybe the "Vette interest" has just run its course, and you move on.

If not, maybe its just that you've run out of things to do with it, and a time-extended course of modding might reinvigorate you. Don't do everything at once, or the malaise will return too quickly. I'm in this category myself -- I like to do "projects" on my car over time, even if its just small ones.

Sell it if you're bored with it and put the money towards the '77 and then evaluate the situation afterwards.

Get rid of both for a Z06, GS, or ______________(fill in the blank).

dvilin

Time to sell it and move on to whatever peaks your interest.

Don-Vette

The fact that you started a thread about this, tells me it's not in your heart anymore. And all our support and positive comments won't help you. Sell the car and move on.

Well part of me wants a newer Corvette. Maybe a GS? and part of me wants a viper. And part of me wants to invest the cash toward something more "responsible" lol Corvettes are in my blood, but I just want something that gets me excited again.

If you go in the garage and it doesn't bring a smile.
Sell it.

You don't sound "spoiled or bratty" at all. The dew is off the rose, so to speak. Your relationship with your '05 has changed and you probably won't be able to get the original rush back. I've got an '09 that I've been using as a DD for the last year and I'm starting to take it for granted too. Modding it is kind of like deciding to have a kid to try to reinvigorate a relationship with a woman. Usually doesn't work and it's detrimental to the kid (or Corvette in this case). There are a lot of cars that I regret having sold and would love to have back, but, at the time, I was done with them. Just sell the Vette to someone else who can get that tingle when he jumps behind the wheel like you had when you first got it, and get on with your own "car guy" journey.

Good luck, brother.

enventr

I totally agree. That should put a smile on your face.

If your bored,get rid of it!!!....and go with something different....I got bored with three wives and got rid of all of them...Best thing ever happened...Be Happy!!!

We all go through this at some point. You have to figure out what would put a smile on your face again. Maybe an old classic like a 69 big block car, or a newer car with more horsepower (ZR1, etc.). Or maybe something different all together. In addition you can sell both cars to go towards the new one, or keep the 77 and sell the newer one. Although I'm afraid the 77 will never be worth much. The later year C3s had very little HP and don't have much demand. But you could make it a project car and mod it to be a street rod. Just don't sink too much into it due to value. You have many options to consider. Good luck with your decision!

Guess final line's what your wallet-part says, in the end.

Well wait a day, then.
WI's lovely (make it outrageous) weather's heading your way.
Once out w/ top out/down why you bought a C6 to begin with will be abundantly clear.

Lived a number of years in Newburgh, IN. right on the Ohio River, quick jaunt across bridge on 41 & state of KY was right there.
Many great places to cruise in/around KY/southern IN, hellova lot more than many other locations. C6 in garage & you in the house? Get it out & drive it, then see how you feel.

*Trip*

I got bored with my cobra and got a vette......i had done everything I wanted with it......
happy for now....two years later and still love it.....will it last forever....prob not....

dbirdhouse1

Selling her, it's like, it's like cheating on your wife! How could you? Don't you have any scruples?

Whew, sell her; dropping big money in her sounds like covering up for what you really want, a new love...........go for it

I sold my 76 and got my Z, no regrets and I I'll never say I wish I would have kept it. The little things wearing out were driving me nuts and I was constantly putting money into it. The values are going up a little but will never be worth a lot in my lifetime. You could take the 5-10 from the 77 and do some mods whether cosmetic or engine... my .02
