I already hate myself and regret the decision but my lovely bride said something (or someone)had to go.
yeah car looked rough shape, no scratches, no stone chips, probably never seen winter, everything on it works, all original........don't think you'll miss it . 
.....seriuosly , it looks near identical to my 93 Black Rosie , no wonder guys call my car a Camaro . I think you'll enjoy the Vette abit more ......

Second guessing gets ya nothing except a sore knee. The C6 will fill the gap and put a smile on your face.
If it hasn't been delivered, it isn't too late to change your mind!
I have had my 98 Trans Am for fourteen years, and can't even count the amount of times that I have been asked, "So when are you going to get rid of it?" 'The simpler question', I always retort, 'is when am I going to get rid of you?'. This is not just an answer to my wife - it is an answer to anyone who asks. It is a special car to me (as yours looks to have been to you as well), and I'm just not ready. It's paid for, so who gives a s**t?
Perhaps I am extra fortunate for having a wife that understands my passion for cars, and if it isn't costing us anything, then what's the harm? So the dailies park on the driveway. It's better for them anyway. lol.
Welcome aboard sir, and you will love your C6. It is a mile better (dare I even say that in a following paragraph?) than your Camaro. There should be no need for regret.
No comparing of an apple and an orange. You have a great candidate for the other section of this forum for the posting of your car in remembrance. You will see my 1984 z28 in there that made it no further than two months after being married. It’s a great place of honour for the car(s) ... I have little doubt you will enjoy your C6 
Perhaps we need a panel on the CCF to make decisions for members. This would override all marital input concerning cars and the number of cars a member could have. Somethings are simply too important to leave to one persons decision making.
The C6 will go a long way to replacing the Z28 but you know the decision will be debated, if only in your mind, for years to come.
Have fun with the Corvette.

I like your idea. ‘Sorry honey but the CCF Board has used their veto power to reverse your decision”. I am sure she will want to be in compliance with a Board order.......
I had the same year and colour Z28 but mine was a convertible. With the mods I had, it was a hoot to drive but nothing like the C6 I have now. Letting my Z28 go after having it for 18 years was tough and there are times I think that maybe I should have kept it but then I take the C6 for a drive and that thought quickly goes away.

That won't work for me guys. Brenda has her own board she relies on for support of her decisions.... Well. Actually it's not a board....more like a piece of 2 x 4....
It was in the month of 27 years of marriage for a hint of empathy to set in
over my '84 Z28 "grief" and reacquiring either a Chevy II or a Camaro.
One awesome sunny morning out of the blue ... she bought a newspaper and came back to the cabin saying,
“What about one of these?” Oh crap, it was like choosing a puppy from an adoption lineup.
On the last day of the month, I (we) bought the second down on the left for yet a bit less than advertised.
(and yes ... bought the Z51 description and not the Z06 photo) ...
Marriage has had many great moments including a year later when she said ... "I think I need one too ..."
The "empathy dial" has definitely reset back to "zero" now and the "stink eye" is prevalent once again
when I'm caught watching the Barrett Jackson "Driver Portion" Auction Days
and still reminiscing about that Chevy II and Z28

I would still like to get my hands on the SLP Anniversary Edition or a WS6 TA.
Well it looks like the buyer backed out. I am heart broken.....lol
Mom said I can keep it if I want. So......I see flowers and a whole lot of “yes dear” in my future.
You don't sound heartbroken Cariboo. But it does give you that moment to ponder whether the bride would consider you adding on to the garage... Wouldn't take much man. Another stall for the Camaro and a little alclove for your bed and some personal items....
She did want an explanation as to why her new Yukon spent the night in the snow last night while the Corvette, the Camaro, the Harley, the Goldwing and my 3500 mega cab were warm and toasty in the garage. I had nothing....
