I’m not a big fan of bitcoin but must admit I enjoy dabbling in the crypto market with other coins. The returns have been extremely pleasing to be honest. It’s definitely not a market for everyone with its large swings up or down, I like the casino too.

Sold my 2018 M6 ZL1 with 12000 miles and needing tires for $54k about 2 months ago. Paid $58k new and was happy with the sale. Now is the time to sell, good luck.

This is the beginning of the end. Digital yuan expected to be official February 2022. It's been incredibly painful listening to a sea of cringe worthy morons calling for bitcoin to hit $1M (or whatever).

I’m not so sure about intrinsic value of nothing.

No one that really knows what these block chain equations mean is saying. What I find interesting is while farming is done with huge GPU mills, it’s the physics processing that’s being utilized, not the graphics.

Some one a long time ago put it in perspective, in terms of money vs this or that.

Which would you rather have, money or this thing you can enjoy? If you enjoy just having money, that fine, but if you enjoy other stuff, have other stuff.

I’m enjoying what is really a dream car for me. Sure their are Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, Bugatti’s & all kinds of other stuff, but that’s not the kinda guy I am.

There really isn’t much else in life I would want right now. & if I did, it would be just as crazy over priced.

At my age, I have made plenty of mistakes in life concerning selling of cars. We all have sold some we regret, I'm sure. I don't want any more regrets at this point. Finally having a car that I absolutely love and selling for money I don't need, would be my biggest mistake ever. Being the original owner of one of the best super cars out there, is priceless.

I’m definitely not planning on getting rid of my Silver Bullet for any amount of money offered.
Agree 100%.

I literally purchased my ZLE A10 a few days before the chip shortage/factory shut down happened. I actually was able to get a reasonably good deal at $70,000. I've added some modest mods, Borla Atak CF tips, Apex Wheels / Michelin PS4 Tires (original wheels and tires 0 miles), PPF, and a few other cosmetic mods. Car has 600 Miles on it, I'm really curious what the open market would bring on a basically new ZLE A10 today?

Right now, at 46, I’m good with life. Great wife & kids, solid career, nice house, SUV’s, trucks, boat, equipment, tools, etc. Even an old beater Honda 4 wheeler. Sure there’s lots of other stuff out there a guy could want like a side by side or fancier boat, but it just doesn’t interest me. I can rent anything I would like to do.

Only thing the misses & I have been contemplating is some shore land along Lake Superior. We’ve been looking for a few years. It’s a limited stretch of shoreline we’d want (about 50miles) & I know all the plat numbers & have been keeping an eye when those pop up for sale, but buying it isn’t dependent on me getting rid of anything, nor putting a huge financial burden on us. So it’s a waiting game at this point.

I didn’t sell my ZL1 because I didn’t love it or couldn’t afford it. I sold because we have 2 properties for sale, limited on time to enjoy and honestly right now, less is more for me. I prefer the crypto market over Wall Street at this current time, even with crypto’s tank in the past 24hrs. Some folks gamble on sports like fantasy football, I do crypto. Like I mentioned it’s not a market for everyone. Either way the 6th Gen ZL1 is a beast and may own another after things settle down on my end and see where we land.

I sold my Porsche GT3 because, after 8 years, I could get almost what I paid for it. That was probably a bad move. I couldn't rebuy that same car, even with much higher mileage, for anywhere near what I got and I really miss that car.

My ZL1 and the Porsche are cars meant to be enjoyed. Selling thinking of the money misses the point. If we were thinking of the money, we would all be driving Chevy Bolts and not passion cars. I got confused for a moment back then, and wish I hadn't sold.

I don’t think I’ll sell anytime soon, if ever. I owned a Supercharged Viper for 12 years and loved the car but got tired of the rawness and lack of amenities. I retired at 53 and could have bought pretty much whatever sports car I wanted. I didn’t want a Vette (been there and done that) mainly because I see tons of them everywhere I look. I like the exclusivity and the track-ability and all the creature comforts of my ZL-1. But I am a modoholic and can’t leave it alone. I want 700whp and reliable upgraded cooling system (almost there). And lastly on my list will be a nice choppy cam.

Yeah, but by that time, you'll probably have to buy gas for it at the drugstore like they did in 1910.

I can easily sell mine for a massive profit but WON'T.

There is nothing out there to replace my car and it will be instant regret as soon as it leaves.

Besides - nothing really out there that catches my fancy.

Sometimes you don't know what you have till it's gone.
