at least your new car won't kill pedestrians while being faster
but first fix shinka
You have Valves in the exhaust.You have baffles in the silencer too..
Auto Auction Rebuilds Enjoy both cars and maybe make them better with mods Life is short. Both of you.
Looks like a win, win. You kept the rx-8, got a car of your dreams, lowered your debt, but most importantly kept your lady happy! Great job
4 car loans, thats not a win
yeah that's kinda scary. he's gonna need to put some money away, fast.
I actually watched this all the way through. Thank you for letting me know how NOT to get out of debt.
I feel like theres a better way to get out of debt than buying a corvette
And you're entitled to "feel."
There is, budget, sale shit you don't need and get an extra job lol Been there and got the t shirt, good luck brother...
Great way to get out of debt! Buy a Vette.
@@thomasrandle9323 don't be such an ignorant troll
@@scotty162 no I meant that in a good way responding to the troll about buying a Vette, I mean all of the other high priced trash cars (in my opinion) the only way to go is a Vette.
Not a smart move dude you just put your self in more debt
I just bought a 2009 with 29k miles for 22k. Picking it up tomorrow. I’m stoked!!😎
Automatic also
@@craigdunning7138I’m 69 years old and have a 2011 Arctic white with an automatic and paddles. I love it. The only thing sadder than am old man in a corvette is an old man without a corvette.
Aromatic or stick doesn't really matter.. It's still a Vette and fast as hell. Nice car man!
Thank you.
You have obviously never owned a manual ls1 and new corvette. Having a manual makes a huge difference. It's let's you control the power band to what you need. Missing alot without a manual in the ls engine corvettes
@@brandonweaver3033 bruh I'm trying to drive this to work
@@beanstalkz4742 Exactly, literally if i had gotten a manual i would only be able to go into 2nd MAYBE 3rd, due to rush hour.
@@brandonweaver3033 paddle shifters
To all those who think stick shift is the only way to go, remember that on both the C1 and the C8, the only option was/is automatic, so it’s been part of The Corvette lineup since the beginning. Further, for those of us who do a lot of city driving and/or have foot/leg problems like I do, an automating is perfect.
Congratulations, the Vette looks like it's new and I think that you've got a perfect stable of cars. I knew that the RX8 was more valuable than you estimated, so I'm really happy for you. Screw everyone that has a negative opinion. Don't let anyone piss on your firework show.. It's great.
I gotta be honest with you, if you're truly serious about getting out of debt, trading your Mustang was pretty much the worst thing you could have done. You should have sold it in a P2P sale and gotten about 5k more for it, then go buy another car.
Right...keeping the mileage low as well like he was would have just made the Mustang appreciate in the coming years.
Mustangs are worthless after 2 to 3 years . They up the price of the car to make you think you're getting more for your trade in.
. . . when love of a Corvette trumps common sense. Good luck buddy!
I know the vid is a couple of years old, but thanks for sharing your financial goals. I hope you get to your goal. I was in a similar situation some years back. The freedom I felt when I paid everything off was crazy. Rooting for you, and love the ride!
I’m debt free as of last year, house and all. If I had just borrowed against everything I own, I could have bought my corvette earlier year instead of paying cash this year which is why I was here in the first place. Thank you Dave Ramsey.
Beautiful car. I love the 08+ with the LS3. The Auto 6L80 actually shifts well in these and even better in the 2014 C7. Enjoy it.
I like this channel, but you need to take Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace before you are married. It will help a lot with communicating on these issues and not making deals like this.
😭😭 he will start yelling at him
I don't understand why people are bothered by the transmission you chose and paid for.
Same here lol.
Idk. Personally I would prefer the manual in most situations. But it's HIS car not mine.
Jaime Wess I'm not sure if you're being serious.
You guys obviously never owned a ls1 and up corvette. While the automatic is quick, having it with the manual transmission really unleashes the power potential due to using the power band even better. There is a big difference
Jaime Wess little bit much don't ya think ? Asshat !!
I have the same one you have shift paddles....A stick is a hastle...automatics are faster....great choice u did well
If it makes you happy, don't worry about anyone else.
Randy, I understand your feeling on being upside down on your car. I was in the same shape for years. Spreading this over all of your vehicles can help you psychologically feel better. Now the trick to getting out of debt is to rank the loans smallest to largest, pay minimums on everything but the smallest and keep flipping Copart cars and take your profits and pay as much as you can on the smallest. When that is paid off move everything you were paying on the smallest to the next smallest. It will be gone before you know it! Good Luck and I will be watching.
I have a 2011 coupe with an automatic and paddles. I love it. I wouldn’t trade you for a 6 speed standard even if you gave me some boot. Nice car. Congrats..
"Its just a car" than sacrifices himself to the bank.
Congrats bud, that's one nice vette. I am rebuilding an 87, there is nothing like long trips with your better half in a corvette.
Manual transmission is fun but I feel for a car that you daily automatic is the only way to go. Nice purchase!
That is one beautiful Vette. I have driven Mustangs for 45 yrs.but I love all cars. If someone is interested enough in a car to pay their hard earned money for it, restore,modify, personalize,or leave it as is, that is good enough for me. I get sick of hearing people complain that you aren't a man unless your vehicle has a clutch. I drove tractor trailer for 33 yrs before being fortunate to retire early 5 yrs ago. Anyone who drives one knows that you are constantly upshifting and down shifting all day. Hundreds of times. It gets a little tiring. Keep in mind that it isn't unusual to have 500 -700 hp and 1000 to 1500 lbs of torque in a good running diesel. You can do a lot of damage to an asphalt road when you want to play. I admit there is nothing like putting your car through the gears, power shifting , rubber in a few gears. I'm 61 and still love getting pushed back in my seat. Automatics are a different breed compared to the old C4s, C6s, Turbo 350 and 400, Chrysler A-904 and 727. They were great transmissions and each had there specialty. Now a person with a laptop can make cars do almost anything. Some people have just as much fun just putting it in drive and going. Some like to put there autos in manual mode and have fun with the paddle shifter. I think its great that we have the choice. Lets just enjoy our cars before the Government takes them away and makes us drive electric cars.
My first brand new car was a stick. My wife who was with me at the dealership kept nudging me to get an automatic. I told her I planned to teach her how drive it. No doubt she was not happy, but went along after I explained why she should learn. She did learn to drive it and confessed she enjoyed her new found driving skill. She was also happy to show off to her girlfriends she could drive a stick. This is not to knock your decision and reason to opt for an automatic, but to point out the missed opportunity to share with your fiance the joy of driving a manual over an automatic. Granted a Corvette may not be everyone's first choice to teach manual shifting on. lol Great car, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful car. My interest rate with my credit union was 8.95% at 18 years old now 23 and car is paid off
Getting yourself out of debt is a smart move. Not only that, But you got a really nice car. Sounds like you got a great women. Thumbs up as always.
Life is pretty good right now :) Thank you man.
You'd have been better off selling off the Mustang and not buying anything else. Keep the Shinka RX8 for yourself, and buy her something fun worth around the same value.
You don't need a 20k+ vehicle to have fun. But hey, it's your money. Do what you want.
He could have kept the his and hers RX8's. The silver one was a automatic.
I mean its not his money. Hence all the extra debt
"You don't need a 20k+ vehicle to have fun."...says the guy that obviously doesn't own a Corvette.
As my father used to say so often, "You cant borrow yourself out of debt and you can't drink yourself sober."
I ripped my buddies 2010 automatic and absolutely loved it and I’m a mustang guy. I would do the same thing man man. Wife can’t drives stick either and no way I’d deny her the enjoyment of owning a muscle car or super car since she’s my sugar momma. Love the color man! So sick
How does one drive that many cars? Should've kept the mustang left the rx8 as is (perhaps sell it) instead of owing on all to get out of debt one doesn't jump into more debt
My family Owns 4trucks and only 2drivers 1summer daily ,work truck ,hauling truck family truck
BROOOOO!!! i didn't even see the video before i posted this. Sick ass vette! Welcome to the LS world
Congrats on improving your debt situation! So many younger generations have no idea how important your FICO score is or how to manage it and improve it. Mine is close to 850 now, but I’m at a stage in life when I don’t need it. If I had known then what I know now, I could have socked away a lot more over the years.
That was nice of you to get that car for both of you... give the rx8 to your bro he’s cool
I have a 2009 Vette also with the LS3 and I have the Active exhaust as well as the Active suspension and the paddle shifters. With the exhaust fuse pulled, the car always has 438 HP. because the exhaust stays open .It's paddle shifters work great even around town but fuel mileage suffers. Going through the gears with the paddle shifter and the exhaust open using all 438 HP at hard acceleration is like a thrill ride at Disney! lol... The Performance mode keeps the traction control off, but in case you get in a little sideways trouble the active suspension will usually stop you from goin to far into a 180 or worse a 360. So, enjoy your new ride and get more familiar with all the wonderful things it does and is capable of. The mode button on your console is a treat if you use it properly. Read your manual!! Have fun. Mods on these cars will depreciate the value, and overall make them harder to handle for a novice performance driver. The Cold air induction system is the only mod worth money that will NOT decrease the value of the car while adding another 8 to 10 HP.. Also a short spoiler will look great and also not decrease the value. I did both for under $1000. It now has 450 HP. Finding that for under 30K makes the 09 Vette a hard car to beat for the money. Good find and you did the right thing buying one. Plus it is also the lowest production model of all the C6 Corvettes making it hold it's value even better than most other C6's.
the color on your Corvette looks incredible. I'm sure the dealerships
dyno came out perfect on UR car . I was admiring everything about
your Corvette - even shocked at
the clean -it reminded me of my
98' Jaguar XK8 coupe I got in 05'
I got mine from a businessman in
long Beach - it was dark brick- 100,000 and in mint condition.
driving it back to the valley this women wouldn't stop following.
I could tell she was liking my jag -
I didn't know just how good of a
deal I got - I was in a bit of shock.
I took it too Just Jaguars in Sherman Oaks and the owner an his wife commented how perfect
the car was inside and out. I went there for an automatic tune-up and free dyno . My XK8 never gave me a problem for 17,235 strong
great feeling miles -till I hit the largest Buck I have ever seen in Missouri. with it's togue out looking dead at me. that landed
me in the hospital for two an half
weeks.
I don't wish that on anyone - it's
just UR Corvette reminded me
of 05' with my Jaguar.
enjoy UR coupe it looks perfect !
Randy, I own a 93 40th. Welcome to the club.unlike that mustang you now own a REAL SPORTS CAR. Sports cars come with 2 seats in America. And only V8s 😆
Now you should do a story on the corvette wave. Most people don’t know about it at all
It kinda a click thing.
Good looking C6, don't forget to wave to the other Vette drivers!! One of the little joys of owning a Vette!
It's not often you can improve your financial situation by buying a 'Vette so well done on that one. I suspect a lot of people below are missing the fact that, while you still owe the same amount of money, you now owe it across all your cars and the amount you owe on each, as separate loans, is now what the cars are worth if you put them up for sale on the open market. As for the auto box, you're reason for picking the auto is absolutely a perfectly good one, plus, when you're buying a used 'Vette you chose the best one in your price range regardless of transmission or, often, you end up tucking yourself up with a pup big time...
That's what's up! As much as I hate hearing that saying, it definitely fits the bill in this scenario. My first reaction was NO WAY! I thought it was a copart car, but thought better of it. I've been away from your vids for a bit, with the lack of Ride-share content, however the Vette definitely caught my attention! Very nice, sir. Well done, and props to you for thinking of the lady with the decision on the automatic transmission. Enjoy it! You deserve it!
I believe your credit score takes a huge hit everytime you get new car loans and when you pay off loans too fast. They like to see you pay car loans for a couple years so it doesnt hurt your credit. I remember I traded in a car after having it for 9 months and my credit score went down 50 points. I was so pissed off. I sure learned my lesson.
I like the tinted tail lights. The red and black look really good. Also, I am not really a fan of chrome rims on cars, but i think these do go well with it.
Also, when you said you traded in the mustang, I 100% understood why you got an auto. Can't daily a car that you can't drive!
Exactly! Thanks man!
I have a 08 I love it. Mine runs an 11.8/ 121mph just headers. put some R888r toyo's on the rear. It will handle corners like it's on rails.
You did well my friend.sound very logical.huge deal treating your fiancee like that.god had already blessed you from I see where you live and cars you have.i m bout to be homeless!.just getting my point acrossed.i m blessed too.
The vette look brand new.whoever doesn't like it bless them too
Vette mods: 1. Long tube headers 2. Cam (100 hp gain easily) 3. Cold air intake. 4. Borla attack exhaust.
Now you're like my friend was four years ago. He also had a Vette and a Prius. Sold the Prius and bought a Leaf. Then sold the Leaf and the Vette and bought a new 2016.5 Tesla Model S 75. Now he's got his sports car and he's environmental.
Most people complaining about stick shift verses auto don't even own a car like this. If you have back problems like I do this auto with manual paddle option gives you the best of both worlds. I know it's not the best transmission but it gets the job done. I know because I had to replace mine twice. The paddles give you total control of the car when driving spirited and fully automatic when just cruising works as well. SCT makes a $400 tuner that gives you options to adjust shift point and shift pressure which irons out most of the issues with the auto not know what gear to be in under light throttle positions. The tuner also makes paddle shifting much quicker and smother. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about a transmission unless they want to make all of the payments for you. Enjoy the car as you pass and leave behind the idiots with all kinds of opinions that really don't matter.
I personally like the 6speed auto in these. Congrats!
I prefer a stick but my kids help me move cars around in the driveway and they just haven’t mastered the clutch yet. Nothing wrong with buying an automatic. Great car!
Great purchase. I had a 2006 Z51 6speed. I know how fun to drive they are.
Auto is ok . You made a fair choice.
Corvettes are the gateway drug to real sports car ownership. Congrats a 'vette makes no apologies and stands on it's own. Screw the haters and props for making it happen.
Your a good man. Take care of that sweetie and she'll take care of you.
Good for you not being selfish! It's as exact as I want to do ! Im in the process now at looking at one myself.
This is the Mascot of the,Channel. Upgrade with L.e.d.s
*my dream vette is a 2013 convertible white with gray stripes LS7 just like the one they had at the corvette museum for a couple years in the lobby. never would sell that one for some reason and once i quit asking it's gone, sold. damn the luck. Damn dude if you were ever in credit trouble and you're able to get a 9% intrest rate you're doing well. everyone keeps trying to charge me 12% or more even with a 760 beacon. I don't blame you though. debt free is deffinitely nice. just paid off a $10,000.00 personal loan, $3,000.00 credit card and a $5,000.00 paypal credit myself. now all we owe is our mortgage and the electric and water each month then our property taxes at the end of the yearso the nex thing to do is pay off the mortgage so we can be debt ffree completely. it's quite freeing paying all of thst off and knowing you don't have to panic each month to make sure everything gets paid on time. Who cares if no one else likes it, You're the one that has to drive it and pay the insurance. I like the meme i posted about this a couple months back on facebook that says "I used to care what people thought until i tried to pay my bills with their opinions" says a lot if you think about it. cool deal on the shirts. I bought one already though, i like the idea of the name on the shirts since i am fixing to be doing the same thing myself so even though it's not my user or channel name the idea will still apply lol* did you save your changes when you logged out of the tee spring site because your shirts still look the same to me.
It looks immaculate, you're happy. End of story.
The 08 and up has a really good A6 auto paddle shift and is quicker and faster than the T-6060. Mine runs 11.8 @ 121 with long tubes, 3" x pipe and race cats.
Nice car. I'm looking for the same thing with a 6 speed. Now I know how easy it is to change shocks on a vette. thanks for the great video. I think you got a good deal on it.
You got a very good deal and I don't blame you for reducing your debt and I agree with you about your feanciee you both really deserve to and keep up the good work
Auto. Only way to go. It’s beautiful and very clean!!!
Excellent Great looking Corvette. The important thing is that your happy with the car. I commend you for getting an automatic so your Fiancé can drive and enjoy it too. You know what they say sharing is careing. It shows that you have good character.
It looks absolutely gorgeous ! That color is great ! Nice purchase, have fun with it !
Hi, I also have a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette, just bought it, what is the baffle exhaust, can't say my car has it, from your video looks like it opens & Closes the exhaust pipes, how does it work. Bucks County Pennsylvania...
CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT GAS. WHAT KIND AND HOW MUCH YOU SPEND TO FILL UP. DO YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM AT THE PUMP. SHORT HOSE OR LONG HOSE.
Positive equity on a depreciating asset is still debt. The best thing you could have done if you want to get out of debt is sell the cars take out a loan for the difference if needed buy a beater and work your ass off to pay off the debt.
There's nothing wrong with an automatic. I have a 2008 coupe with an automatic and I have the paddle shift which you can shift it when you want. I noticed you had the paddle shift also, so use it like a stick shift. You'll love it and the wife can use the automatic. I have the dual mode exhaust too. I got a device that replaces the fuse to the solenoid s and you can have the valve open for a deep rumbling exhaust or closed for a quiet exhaust. You control it with a key fob supplied with the relay.
You have a really great Corvette and I know you and your wife will enjoy it.
Love that you went back a few years and got a car that looks to be in perfect used condition.
I love where this channel is going
You are very humble man and love your videos my brother. Peace and love to all...
You make the right call or your cars. Kudos to you man. Build your credit and have fun doing it!!!
That’s nice of you to share it with your SO and get an auto. You are a really nice guy love the car.
Congratulations it doesn't matter what other people say it's as long as you like it that's all that matters as long as you happy with it that's why it matters once again congratulations
Very nice well done. U mentioned previously that you wanted a corvette. Glad to hear you got everything where you need to be. Everyone is happy. Enjoy. Have a nice day.
I wouldn’t have traded in the mustang for that tho. Debt free is awesome place to be! Shoot me a DM bro. Paid off 189k in three years and enjoyed flipping/getting to paid for cars during that time. 2001 F150 (23k Miles) and 2004 Grand cherokee v8 (96k miles) I LOVE THIS CAR THOUGH.
Gorgeous Vette! Black on Black would have looked better imo but to be fair, that red is clean too. Glad to here you went with the AT for your better half to enjoy as well as you. Much respect!
Thanks for mentioning what you paid back in 2018. Just bought a Yellow 2008. I once owned a GT Mustang as well, no comparison.
Wow! Seriously, great move! I love the corvette and it being an automatic is awesome in my opinion. Really liking the new channel, but it would be fun to see you find a classic and fix it up. I know easier said than done, but just a thought.
Taught my daughter how to drive a stick shift in a matter of hours. 👌🏻
so you didn't get out of debt, you just moved the debt around. now some things you had paid for or paid down, are not free and clear. now that said part of the reason your credit is where it is , is because you don't have enough payment history. if you slam payments on things like you want to , to get debt paid down it doesn't show payment history. I can see what you are trying to do but it doesn't make a lot of sense financially. now that said I buy things in cash because I hate debt too. it's your life do what you feel is right and don't worry about what others think. personally if I were you I would get some more of those cars paid off, I would get the garage clean to put your cars in because you keep saying how few cars in Oklahoma there are that don't have hail dents. then once your debt is paid down, I would be trying to buy that house you are living in or one like it.
That's such a nice car. It's super clean.
I just got 1 & I feel the exact same way!
I’m gonna show this inspirational video to my 19-year-old son :::what not to do when making financial decisions especially on cars!
I support you my friend. You're doing great 😃
Good deal man, she looks sweet.
I am not a fan of corvettes. But you do what you need to do brother, still love your channel. Keep on kerping on.
I’m not sure I get why you went and got loans on cars they were payed off and then bought a corvette when your trying to get out of debt. Anyways congrats
Definitely an interesting move! You must have a flexible lender? Spreading the difference lost on the Mustang across the cars you already own avoided having to pay the out of pocket costs. The only thing that hurts is the 9% interest on all the loans. Could you have sold the Mustang for more via private party or shop around other dealerships? Will you sell the RX8/Prius to continue your quest to be debt free?
Good job. Will the c6 be your daily?
Congratulations the vette is awesome hope you have a lot of fun with it and who really cares if it's an automatic
Its a beautiful car I love the fact that you said that you went with a automatic so that your wife could enjoy it also. Much respect!!! 😊
Czar Fazon she had to sacrifice her mustang though. I’d rather have 2017 than 2009 but I understand high interest rates are a headache.
I didn't like manual transmissions until I taught myself how to drive one. I bet your girl will LOVE it if you taught her how. :-)
*Congrats brother!* I know you've wanted a Corvette for awhile now.
I am working on getting a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS to add to my fleet.
Very nice man!!!
How many of you thought his wife was gonna walk out when he said "there she is" at 10:40 at the end of the video? Lol!
No hate, but to a noncar person, "to get out of debt, I'll buy a corrvette " just seems ridiculous. But I'm sure it's all good
It’s just a car -Randy
Dan Lacker If you want a corvette, get a corvette - Randys wife
Thinking about getting a 09. I’m 22 and have no debt as of now. You think I should just drop the 21k and get one?
Id rather feel sad and broke in a Corvette than feel sad and broke having nothing at all....im getting a Corvette. If you aint paying bills you aint doin nothin 💪
Love your vids keep up the great work
You made the right decision.Great job!
Glad you bought a C-6. You will love it and your girlfriend will too!
You sir made an excellent choice, not only on the car, but getting yourself out of debt. It takes a lot of effort, but I’m certain you can do it! You’re very lucky to have the fiancé you have. Best of luck! If you ever have questions with money, I would take a look at the dave Ramsay channel.
he didn't get out of debt, he actually took on more and redistributed it.
