    My point in case it was missed is how does a bass boat cost more than a sports car with all the tech that it has?
    Totally agree. Simple answer, because people will pay stupid prices for their toys. When the customer quits buying, isn't it amazing how the prices start plummeting?

    I've had two Zo6 vettes...they both sat in the garage most of the time..but when we drove them..damn it was fun! I've got two boats...they both sit way more than they are used..but when we use them...priceless fun.

    I was always under the assumption that a fool never had money to part ways with.

    I have had a couple corvettes, I sold the last one because I had tried of the 6 speed manual. My son has a deposit down on a 2020. The 2020 will be slower in a straight line than his 2014 built by late Model race craft was, but I think will be more fun to drive.

    Did not know that a ranger sold for $80,000. Strictly tin boat guy....but then a decked out Lund is gonna be in that neighborhood. Seems like its a "bass" fisherman boat. 90% of people around us use tin. Fish for crappies and catfish....few bass fisherman and they have fiberglass.

    I get you...but you are life goals....dont know if Id ever own a ranger and that sweet ass bay boat you got at the same time! Im projecting my own values and youre right, to each their own. If I ever get a corvette or $60k plus boat tho....better believe im gonna use the hell out of them! lol

    I was just hassling a buddy of mine for looking for a "back up boat" cuz he's having motor problems! But to each their own, and you earned that money so its yours to spend.

    I’ve had quite a few fast straight line cars, and built them myself...tons of fun. BUT, I’ll never forget my 1st Vette! 99 FRC that I put heads, cam, intake, headers, exhaust and a tune. It was only a 475rwhp car but it would move and it sounded really great for an LS engine; they’re pretty hard to get a good sound from.

    If you’re not a car guy, don’t enjoy taking a corner at 110, and most importantly don’t enjoy working in your car you probably don’t get it. We all have different things that blow our skirt up.

    As a kid I would work on my Nova all week to make the races Saturday night, it was a great time. My back wouldn’t enjoy that kind of work anymore so creature comforts are nice in a “race car”!

    Can't finance the Corvette for 20 years even if you wait for the performance models at $90-110k which will be the ones worth having.

    I currently have a C7, which is my third vette. A mid-engine model is a sacrilege. Don't need a European knock-off.

    If you ignore the future progress get over in the right lane.
    There was only so far a front mounted engine could take the vette. Well that's what the Chevy engineer said anyway.

    I’d take the 60K and buy an older corvette. Say a 69 convertible with a 427. To me that’s a much more desirable corvette than any new one. But I’d rather have a Buick GNX than any corvette but that’s just me.

    More desirable to look at but.not.to drive. I had a 66 convert 427. Compared to even a c6 or c7, log wagon.
