never been a fan of the old vettes, the brand new ones are sexy.....not really into choppers either, they look cool but aren't practical, I want something I can ride all the time

If all you drive it for is to get hollered at and what ends being trash stuck on your car, then yes, I'd sell it to a collecter.

Put it on Barrett's or something.

You have enough cars imo, and as you said so yourself.

If you play it right you might put some of that money towards not only a new bike, but also a down payment on something
modern that handles better.

I know where you can get a 200X blue Corvette dirt cheap.

But that is a ways down the road, and may not be a necessary item, for me or you.

I have never been on a chopper, but I'll bet they are uncomfortable sons a bitches. It would be a shame to sell the Vette, and end up with something that looked cool, but rattled the **** out of your bones and was uncomfortable.

ORIGINAL: fishfryer527

why not just build another garage?
Townhouse.

I paid $10,500 for the car, put maybe $7k into it over the years. It is really starting to go up in value I guess, but I go through this 'should I sell exercise' every few years. Maybe I'll just 'Rent a Harley' a few times to get it out of my system.
i bet it'd only take once to change your mind
i say keep it or sell it and the s2000 and put the money together and get something like an nsx

Sell the s2Gay and TL (as nice as it may be), buy a cheaper DD, and buy a house with the leftover cash money so you can have bigger garage for more toys If theres one thing thats a better investment than a Stingray, its a house

holy crap what kind of idiot thinks the S2000 is a bad car? Why do you hate on import cars and drive an import bike? Get a Harley Davidson if you think American is a good way to go.

Anyways, with muslce cars you never know what's gonna happen to the value.. sure it might appreciate with time but there's a peak with everything. Just do whatever you want man, why don't you just buy the bike now and sell which ever one you don't like first.

And as an adendum to what I said previously, you should trade straight up for an all original 1990 ZR-1 before the new 2008 ZR1 comes out because I guarandamntee you that bad boy will appreciate in value as soon as people start seeing the new ZR1 on the road with its sticker over $100k and 650 HP

Try and get a ride on a custom, see if you like it. Take the vette out a few more times as well. Then make a rational decision.
