My plan for racing the vette is to keep it streetable enough to drive it there and back home. But if it breaks while there, I will need to get it home.

Something to consider I suppose.

I don't know if it's worth keeping as a contingency plan for something that might go wrong a small handful of times in a year.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

You can do quite a few paid flatbed tows covering the potential breakdown if you go racing for what you are paying for the truck.

This. You can tow it for a lot less then what the payments on the truck are per year. And that assumes you even go to the track. I know you want to go, but wanting to go and actually going are pretty different things.

Yeah but yours is more functional in other areas than an extended cab F250 :lol:

Yeah which I why I have an F150 instead of the F250 that'd be much more comfortable towing the trailer. But there's an argument to be made that I could rent a F250 for about $500 a week for the handful of times a year we actually tow.

I own a truck to tow a car I can't actually buy, so maybe don't listen to me. :grumble:

Good luck. I think it'll sell pretty fast.

I owe less than private party kbb. About kbb trade in. Only a couple $k difference. So might sell it to a dealer so easier.

Just wait it out you don't need to sell it price on the high side of KBB private party and be willing to come down $1500-$2000.

Still might trade it in plus the outback. Still haven't really made a decision on that yet.
