Hmmmm.....

That $62,000 price tag for the C8 Vette is a dream in itself. They are going for $30,000 to $40,000 over sticker price at the moment. I am seeing used C8's going for over $100,000 around these parts. Supply and demand has driven new and used Corvette prices through the roof.

Here is what a little over $60,000 will get you at the moment. This one is 4 years old.

My brother put money down on a new vette about 6 weeks ago. 1 year back oder.

I don't think he even wants it, I think he just wants the opportunity to decide when his comes in.

He's very very close to buying a 66 vette right now, just cant make up his mind.

guess I run in a slower crowd as an overpriced, over horse powered sport car is very, very low on my want list if I were to win a lottery. somewhere around page fife I would think

I'd probably take that over a $60,000 pickup truck.

Me too. I’m in your crowd.

I once heard that the definition of irony is an $80,000 sports car capable of going from 0-200mph in 3 seconds - stuck in rush hour traffic behind a Yugo.

Yugo, I always liked the painted on carpet and the exploding engines.
They had a speed limiter at 75 or so, the oil could not get through the block due to manufacturing issues.
Go fast enough and the engine would blow.
but by then most of the interior would have fallen off anyway.

No rush hour traffic where I live.....0-200mph in 3 seconds would be something to see, but not if you blinked.

Now that is funny.

Me three. The insurance alone would put me in the poorhouse. Even if it was in the budget, where would I drive something like that?

 

[MossRoad]

Down to the gas station for a YooHoo and Moonpie.

A farmer west of me DID win the lottery. Saw on the news they were asking him what he was going to do now? He said, "Well, I guess I'll just keep on farming until its all gone."

 

[3Ts]

I knew someone who did win the lottery - about $7 million. He built a house, bought cars, boats, horses. Then couldn't make the payments on the loans or mortgage and lthe banks foreclosed. Probably ended up worse off than before winning the lottery.
I've also heard, but don't know, that some lottery winners consult with a financial planner before spending anything and 20 years later, they still have funds to do whatever they want.

The place fast cars are most often seen is behind slow cars.
