I'm in the same boat, with the birth of my 2nd daughter, I decided to sell my Z as well. I don't regret it one bit.

I held onto my C5Z for almost a year after I had my first kid (shes now 5). It just didn't make sense making payments on a car I literally never drove. Traffic in Atlanta sucks so driving the 6 speed to work was out. Come weekends we did everything as a family so I never drovebit then either. The car just sat and depreciated as I drove a beater (00 Dakota ext cap) as a DD. Like you the wife encouraged me to keep it but it didn't make sense so I sold the vette and the truck and went down to one car (sporty sedans FTW). I'm happy with my decision. I have had cars I enjoy but at the same time I can throw the entire family in and take day trips in etc. I'd rather spend time with my family over hanging out in a parking lot with random strangers looking at cars any day of the week. |
