Do I need professional help?

[jimlloyd40]

I crashed one Corvette, a 2008 Z06.

Have you decided if you are getting the new Vette?

THIS was also fun....and what I traded in on my 2019 Golf R.

I did the same thing (albeit a Charger 392), after years of VW 2.0t's...it's a totally different beast

The gas mileage does suck big time though, lol

Have you decided if you are getting the new Vette?

No, I'm still on the fence. My rationale is to wait and actually see a final production model and then decide.

My 2019 R, with both the ECU & TCU APR stage 1 tunes is quite a bit of fun for onramp merging and fills my "need for speed" for now. It's actually quite an enjoyable experience, driving a debaged sleeper.

Probably better to wait for year 2 so the kinks can get ironed out. Pretty big departure from the norm.

Have you decided if you are getting the new Vette?

Yes, I just bought a 2019 Corvette Z06 yesterday. I was 322 on the C8 list and felt an 18 month wait wasn't worth it.
Great deal....$64,500 ...&TT&L, w/ no dealer fee. Received a crappy $34k for my 2019 3 month old Golf R.

Congratulations.

The only thing I will say is that perpetually chasing after the next best thing can sometimes be a sign that you are unhappy elsewhere in life, and you are filling that void with "stuff". Those things only have a tendency to keep your attention away from that pressing issue for a short time, hence jumping from the "old" thing to the next best thing after that, over and over.

That said, I am no psychiatrist, but I do have experience with exactly that previously in my life.

In all seriousness, if you are actually concerned that you might have a problem, it would be wise to speak to a professional, not to a forum of car enthusiasts. The worst that happens is you're out a couple hundred bucks (what's a couple hundred when you drop tens of thousands on depreciation annually?) and they tell you there's nothing wrong. The best that happens is you find out you actually do have a problem and you work towards correcting it, and come out happier on the other side.

Congrats on the new Z06. Love those cars and the color combo! 650 hp & tq straight out of the factory is pretty awesome and a lot of fun.

 

[FLcarguy]

wow What a deal is right.. Gorgeous car and I thought I had a quick trigger.. Sold this after 6 months..

Enjoy it before the woke climate warriors put a cap on maximum trade ins per year.

Congrats and enjoy your ride.

I came across an article that C7s are discounted heavily but $24k off sticker is a sick deal.

Fantastic. Give us a review. By the way could I please move in with you? ?

So then to answer his original question, maybe OP really does need professional help. I think I have the same problem as I've jumped from about 4 new cars since 2014...maybe I need help to.

 

[Backtrack2015]

I probably need some help too, although a three month turnaround is much faster than my normal interval of about two years. Luckily my income is flat and cars are getting expensive enough now that I can't stomach the depreciation (thus, maybe I'm cured).

Congratulations OP. Beautiful ride!

Congrats on the C7 Z06. Great price on the Z06 with 24k off MSRP. I have considered transitioning from my 2018 BMW M5 (F90) back to a C7. On the Corvette Forum the best I can find is 16k off MSRP from a 2019 2LZ Z06 with a MSRP off $85,675 and a selling price of $$69,254 (including the $2k rebate).

I am 53 years old and I have a play / weekend car and every 2-3 years I look for another weekend car. I have had my M5 (F90) since August of 2018 and I transitioned from a 2015 BMW M3 (F80) prior to that I had 2014 C7 Z51. The one I miss is the 2012 C6 Z06/Z07, I have contemplated looking for another one. My everyday driver is my trusty 2008 Tacoma DCB 4X4 Off-Road that I will keep forever. I have a work bike assigned for work so I use to commute to and from work.

Possible next vehicle is a 2020 Porsche 911S or C8. My wife loves her 2012 GTI Autobahn. Life to too short and you cannot take the money with you. Enjoy life.
