I addressed this ad nauseum previously. Cliff-notes:


-Saving $500 a month in note/insurance to put toward property I am buying in a year.

-I am moving in less than a year and will probably make less and want to continue to save at the same rate.

-My time at Spring Mountain Motorsports taught me that unless I track my Z06, I will never scratch the potential it has to offer unless I do something stupid and beyond "normal" illegal.

-I realized I was paying for performance I will not use, while suffering with an interior that I will ALWAYS use. So instead, I will enjoy an interior I will always use, ans suffer performance that I will rarely use.

When looked at from a "mine is bigger!" standpoint, it's a poor decision. However, when viewed financially, as well as practically, regarding MY personal use for the car (cruising, spirited driving through twisties), it makes more sense by far. I wanted a supercar, I bought one, I owned it for a year, and I can check that off my bucket list.
