If you decide to sell, let me know. I would consider buying a good, used C5 vert.

I haven't been able to drive it much because both parents have been seriously ill over the last 5 years, and I had to use the truck mostly to accomodate taking care of them. So the vette sat.

On top of that, I live in NY, and the vette sits for 6 months out of the year, and i've got a degenerative back issue that rowing the gears aggravates (not while i'm driving it, but the next day... holy jesus am i in pain)

So... considering a BMW M4 xdrive....

thoughts?
That's why I am thinking of selling my '70 'vette. I'm sitting here with my arthritic left knee swollen, so I haven't driven the car in about 5 weeks. So, I feel you.
