Dave,
If I could make a suggestion....take a step back and think about this...the corvette is among the safest vehicles on the road. Its structural rigidity is among the highest in the world.
I would also suggest that once the baby has arrived..you may want the few moments of freedom it provides..
If you want to swap out for an 99 C5 A4 and ten grand cash..I can hook up with you..
That ten grand..could then be used to lease for three years in total, a minivan or GM SUV..also my suggestion would be to accumulate GM bonus points as well..to lower your cost even further..(I leased my wifes GMC 2000 Jimmy for three years/36K miles and that was my total cost)
This way you could have your cake and eat it too..(when the mood strikes..and believe it will..you will be able to go for a cruise with the glass top and the stars shinning through..
I had the airbag switch put in..so you could take your child in the unlikely event you needed too..(Great bonding time with your child and btwn you and me..it makes the local trips to the park much more fun! ) I bought my Corvette when the law allowed for the airbags to be disconnected..so I could enjoy these moments with my infant son at the time. His favorite car is the Red Corvette! I took him to all the corvette shows with me in his stroller..(fits in the back easily and all the kids love his dads car...and the parents too..LOL )
I'm in North Jersey and the car is immaculate...with less then 20K miles..and in perfect working order..zaino'd...and garaged..I have 3 more years on the extended GM warranty and you would have 30 thousand miles of car free driving.
I have three cars and the vette insurance only costs me an extra 600 a year to insure...
Trust me..you will want to get out and breath once in awhile..
BTW..congratulations on the incoming!
JB
