I do buy and hold! lol 😂
As a long time Vette owner (been driving them since the 70’s), this actually makes me sad, why have something this special and just not drive it…. That’s the bad part of this. It was meant to be enjoyed, not stored. I’ve never sold a vette that had less than 50k and many with more than that.

Just my 2 cents.
