|  Ever think about selling your LSX vehicle?
...Then take it for a drive and quickly think to yourself "No way in hell am I selling this thing any time soon!"
My Z28 is not my DD, just one of my toys. If I don't drive it for more than a month or so, I find myself thinking about selling it; then I take it out for a spin and all of my thoughts of selling are gone. It's not like it's the fastest thing on the streets or anything, but it sure is fun!
Anyway, I was just wondering if this is just me, or if others know what I'm talking about.

Why if you already have a ZO6, don't you already have the king of LSX vehicles?

I think those rs4's are over-rated. I thought they were cool, then raped one in a race, then looked up their spec's and was a little disappointed. Just wait til you take that turbo camaro out, you'll see what I'm talkin about.

I think about selling it every day and either getting a truck, or something like an Audi. Hell I'd even trade it in for one of those new Challengers

The only reason ive ever thought about selling mine is because i wanted less miles and t tops. But there is absolutley nothing wrong with it and its a rare color so now i never want to sell it.

All I was trying to say is that I had thought they were faster than they are, so I felt a little disappointed when I realized they weren't quite what I thought they were. You know what I mean?

Yea I thought it about it from time to time, then one day while working I decided to part it out and/or sell it so I put up a post. A month later, it's gone  Now it's time for a new endeavor.

Only if it was to get into something better. Otherwise my plan it to keep it and then add to the collection. Next car will probably be a Gen 2 or 3 Viper.

I think about it all the time. I'd really like to get a 04 Z06 with low miles.. I can afford it but it'd cut into my mod money. I made think about just paying the T/A off and then buying a vette later on. | |

I already miss the power/handling in my Z28. I'd really like to pick up a GTO for a daily driver.

The artificial wood grain makes for poor tactile grip (which may cause me to veer into another lane, but I digress; ) it is appealing to the eye.
My apologies. | | |

The only time I ever consider selling my Z28 would be to upgrade to a Vette. I've been looking around, but my Z has never let me down, so I have no reason to offload it. Being able to afford one is not the issue - I just grow really attached to my vehicles.
