Hey man! I like your videos. Just my $0.02: When we're 85, we both know that we would rather have gotten the sports car than gotten an extra 15-20 grand!! 😂Don't sweat it. Yeah, you could save that money, but could you really enjoy it as much if you waited another 20 years? Go on any of the corvette forums, and you'll see dudes saying, "I like the car, but I can barely get in and out of it because of my bad knee! I'm going to trade it in for a Corolla." We don't want to work so hard, only to not enjoy the fruits of our labor. Clearly, you're a smart guy and prudent with your money. But as long as your basic needs are met, and you can still save 20% for retirement - spend your money how you like! Some people will buy expensive camera for their photography hobbies, and we buy cars. The car gives us an unforgettable experience though, so it's not just a thing. The point of money is not just to get more of it, but to afford us the things we desire. Can't take it with you when you're dead anyways! Besides, the C8 is cheap compared to Porsches and Lambos 😂Enjoy it brother!
That is what I would advise my own children. You earn to spend, spend on what brings you happiness without being reckless. Emergency fund, invest, live and enjoy. I have zero regrets losing this money on something I love.
Cars are nothing more than rolling appliances. You have something much more fun than a Corvette....a motorcycle. Steve McQueen said it best..."Driving a car is like watching a movie. Driving a motorcycle is like starring in that movie." BITCOIN is the future.
You speak my heart brother! Soo many people do not understand the joy a motorcycle brings vs any fast car. I do not ride my motorcycle on the streets anymore I do track days only. Nothing comes close to feeling as alive as on a motorcycle.
Is a supercar an investment or a fun means of transportation that gives you value you can't put a price on? If you're in it for just the money, you're in the wrong game.
Good points. What bothers me even more is the fact that regardless of mileage. We have to do a transmission fluid change for $1500 or the warranty is void. Look into that. I have the 2024 2LT. But it’s a second car and the insurance (if you shop for Corvette insurance) is very cheap. keep the videos coming😀
I have been with one insurance provider for a long time. I try shopping around every year or so to get a cheaper rate but no one beats my current provider I wonder why even tho I got a ticket and next renewal was even cheaper when everyone else is seeing increased insurances. I hope I dont jinx myself now lol cuz I am planning to get another daily driver
From what I’m reading the transmission display is not accurate to the service needs of it. Confusing as they say this part is that of a super car . 🤷♂️
I got a 2023 fully loaded with 2800k miles for 66k mint z51 and almost every option you can think of from a private one owner, a older gentleman who did take a bath on this for him but if you patient you can find a good deal. He babied the car but just couldn’t get in and out of it well so he just couldn’t drive it much… my insurance only went up 780 for the year but I do have two other cares. Seemed reasonable to me…
When you get your Porsche or Lambo it will be the same thing all over again. That's the price you pay to own cars like this. Maybe keep it a bit longer.
Sorry brother but i tink problem you have is 2 and problem 1 is the way you talking is you just talking about the money and not other factors like you had a fun time with the car and enjoy the almost 1 year and the problem 2 is you are still poor and you need to get up more levels and get more rich and then when you buy your super car you don’t even think about the money you lose because you don’t even tink the way you think now. Wishing you luck
I never tried to claim to be rich or wealthy. I am a first generation immigrant who started here driving Uber/Lyft in 2018. I hope to be in a situation where an $85K car I can park and not care about its value. If you are in that situation, Good for you but most people are not. Lastly, the video obviously was for information. Never said I regret it or that I wouldn’t suggest doing All I said was the cost should be considered before buying Appreciate your input though. Happy Holidays

Everything you said sounded pretty reasonable. It’s a high performance weekend car, you have to pay to play.

Wow, thats something I didnt know at all
Isnt the maintenance based on what shows up on the cars dash? (To satisfy warranty)
