Should I sell my Corvette and buy a Chopper?

RE: Should I sell my Corvette and buy a Chopper?
Thanks forthe input from everybody, we took the car out last night and it was fun. I forget how noisy, smelly, and just raw that thing is. It is aslo still fun just melting the rear tires at a stoplight, it reminds me of high school. Overall it is a lousy car to drive, but certain aspects of it are fun.
I saw a Ferrari 430 (maybe 360)in a parking lotand kinda stared at it for a minute and then made the decision that my Vette was shaped a whole lot better (although I'd trade with him in a second) than that car (it was a little '***-heavy' from the side).The Ferrari was very nice because of the workmanship, performance,and the known value, but sometimes when I roll my car out in the sun it really is amazing, the curves and the way the pearl in the paint comes to life, you look at it and can't decide where to stop, every angle is really amazing and organic, almost Italian Supercar(Miura, Mangusta, 250LM) in it's shape.
Maybe the main reasonI own it is to just look at it in the sun once in a while, I might as well keep it for a few more years and see what happens with the value. As long as I keep storage and operating costs down, at least I'll make some money on it. Thanks again for the input everyone.

I cant believe that is even a serious question... when you run out of room, you dont sell your toys, you simply need to find a different place to live with at least a three stall garage. Hell if all else fails rent a damn storage shed for one of the cars.
Problem solved

sell the vette to someone who appreciates it.
The NADA guide tells me the thing is worth $50K++, now I have to wonder, do I sell it, buy a chopper, go toCabo San Lucaswith a couple of Strippers and then I'll have a chopper, homemade ****, and great memories. This is getting to be a difficult decision.

get a bigger garage
I could rent a garage which is an option at $1000/yr maybe higher, but then I wouldn't get to look at all my toys everyday. I just don't like the idea of storing it, I either want to see it or sell it. I guess I am just gonna keep it after all, maybe get a old sportster and leave it in my buddies garage, let him ride it whenever he wants and then I can swap it out with the F4i.
Thanks for the ideas, it is dumb to sell the car especially when it is still rising in value.
