I don't actually hate the car but I hate some things the car causes... Like my worrying about it and fear of leaving it in a parking lot. I hate that I can't drive it as much as I'd like to the way I would like to. Other than that I wuv it!

Hate not having the proper facilities to keep her outa the weather, put her in the air, and that she hasn't gotten the proper mod attention the last couple years. Love the car though!

I'm bored with mine to the point where I can't be motivated getting it back on the road. Does that count?

I feel sorry for you. Sounds like mod time or race time.

It's not as bad as it sounds. I've had my Vette for 11 good years now, and feel like I know it inside out from a driving and mechanical perspective and like you suggested I figured it was time to step it up and go crazy. There was a hiccup though. I rode in a bunch of cars while visiting friends in the USA that made me rethink whether I build this one up or go to something else. I still enjoy Corvettes and anything else with wheels, I just think it's time to move on or give this one and extended rest or try something else. I sure don't have anything to be sad about.
