Re: Long Haul Commuter - Should I Pop For A Vette?
Impressive rig, but if commuting conditions are so bad they require a 600HP, 4x4 truck, it may be best to stay home.
Years ago, my brother's daily commuter was an '85 coupe 4+3 and then an '87 convertible automatic. He loved them, but I remember he preferred the automatic for daily driving and liked the coupe's storage area. His only real complaint was the clumsy ingress/egress over the frame rail. Consider it your daily stretching exercise to keep limber.
Today, C4s with < 40k miles sell for less than $15k. So if you go this route, pick a real cherry. And think of the $ you'd save: The full purchase price of the C4 is less than the first year's depreciation on a new Corvette. (I think the C4's styling is cleaner, too.)
