For me, I owned three Corvettes before I got into Porsches. My latest one was a rare 2007 Indy 500 Pace Car Edition Corvette. Only 500 of these particular Corvettes were made, and mine was the 294th out of those 500. It was great, but one thing I didn't exactly like about it was it had an automatic transmission. In fact, the other two Corvettes I owned were also equipped with an automatic. I always wanted a Corvette with a manual transmission, but could never get ahold of one
I nearly bought a 1996 Corvette with a 6-speed, but my wife didn't approve of it because she thought it was "too old". I also kinda wanted something more aggressive like a Z06, but my wife wouldn't let me get one
I eventually bought the 2007 Pace Car Corvette because it was a rare model
In late 2012, I had to part with the 'Vette since my wife wanted to buy an SUV as our new family car since my son and daughter had become teenagers, so we no longer needed our 2004 Toyota Sienna minivan. However, instead of getting rid of the van, my wife opted to get rid of the 'Vette instead, but for good reason: I only drove it during the weekends, so most of the time it just sat in the garage. The final decision was up to my then-14-year-old son since he was going to be its next owner once he got his driver's license, so he initially wanted us to keep it. After my son reluctantly made up his mind, I finally traded the 'Vette in for a 2009 Cayenne GTS, and so once again ended my Corvette ownership.
Now, in all its glory, a photo of the last Corvette I owned:
Getting back to the main idea, aside from our Porsches, anyone else here also own (or owned) any Corvettes?
