That $6k would be worth >$600k if it tracked the stock market.

Just take care of the car you have now
To clarify: The best case scenario (the proper trim level of Vette) turned into $60K
If you bought, never drove, stored and paid upkeep on the wrong trim level of the same year you could be looking at more like $20K value now.
