Tell me this isn't at least a little tempting...

Wife has a no corvette rule.

If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy. Beyond that - corvettes are a little more common than I'm thinking - even the z06s. If I sell off the herd it should be for something you don't see everyday.

69 Sunbeam Alpine Hardtop GT

You will probably be the only one in the state. Only 5000 imported in 69 and 70. I had one until it got totaled by a Cowboy Cadillac.

"Something you don't see everyday", DD-able, and fun...

I'm going to have to go back to my Z3 M Coupe suggestion.

As an added bonus, they hold their value well too.

Not even a little. It's an ugly, ill proportioned quirky Euro POS from the 70's. If it had a Citroen badge it would be relegated to the annals of Eurotrash mistakes. That it has a prancing horse should not change that.

In the summer I pass a guy driving one of those just about every day on the way to work. I really like the way they look and sound, so yes it would be very tempting.

I'd find myself the cleanest 911 I could find. A back seat would be a prerequisite. 2 seat with a modicum of practicality? Elise or M Coupe, no question.

What happens when you need to pick up a few groceries?

There is more room behind those first six cases. I'm pretty sure it will hold the other four. I know I've carried 5 cases of 22oz. bottles flat on the trunk floor.

I believe my record for stuff in the back is something like: 2 desktop computers w/ monitors, 2 sleeping bags, and inflatable air mattress, 2 suitcases, a couple boxes of books, and a trunk with enough paintball supplies for 3 people.

On another practical note, I could fit a full set of tires for the Miata in the trunk of my M Coupe. Tires for the M Coupe, I would either have to deflate them, or stick three in the trunk, and one on the passenger seat (wrapped in a trash bag or something).
