Funny you should say that because just now I was trying to find the trade-in value for a 2012 and roughly estimating what I can sell a 2013 Volt with 20 miles..lol. Maybe Carmax or something would give me $35k for a quick $6k turnaround? Wish gas and modding cost only that much.
And, can't get rid of the '02. Bought that new when I was 21 and the memories with it would be worth much more than the $6k or so I'd get for it.

The Colorado is underpowered but is great in snow so I keep it close in the winter. I do use the Camaro as DD because I didn't buy it to park it and I won't live long enough to see it sold at Barret Jackson.
My biggest problem is with just me and my GF, it makes it hard to move 3 vehicles. When we came up to Chicagoland from SE Texas I left the Colorado at a friend's house in Louisiana and flew down to get it last month. If I go to California bay area in a week or two as I expect, I will have to get someone to fly here to drive the Colorado west for me.
Selling my Camaro would be a last resort. I've always wanted another Camaro since I had a '68 SS years ago. I ordered in Oct '08 and have a low VIN. Owning this car is a passion. If I had to choose only one to keep, it would be the Camaro and I would just stay in motels as much as that sucks.
Could you part with yours?

Great question. I'm having a tough time imagining myself part with it, but was thinking time heals all wounds, so who knows. haha
You're right though - the passion and love for these cars is amazing, and I don't want to regret it down the line thinking I sold the car just for $30k when in the grand scheme of things it may not be much. Ughhhh....
