Default Wife says I can get a new 5.0...should I?

Ok, here is the story. I will try to make it short. I own a 2006 Silverado SS that just sits in the garage. My garage queen actually. Bought it three years ago and still owe on it. Payments are close to $650 a month plus insurance. Planned on keeping it the rest of my life, but have lost interest in it. The wife bought me the 03’ GT so I would not have to drive the SS as much. I told the wife that I wanted to sell the SS and take what profit I make to pay off a small visa saving us the visa payment and $650 a month. I just planned on keeping the GT, but the wife says to sell both and get the new 5.0. She does not like the GT much, says it is too small for me. I was shocked. Problem is now I would have another payment, but not as large and a new 5.0. Or should I just sell the SS, keep the GT, save the cash and fix up the GT? My good sense says to keep the GT....but damn a new 5.0 would be nice.

do you need 2 cars for your family? If not, get the new 5.0 and forget about the truck and GT

The grass is always greener on the other side till you're standing on it looking over the fence at all the wonderful grass you left.

No not at all. The wife has an Explorer so if we need to haul something or pile our daughters friends in we can. So having 3 vehicles is not needed.

The SS is paid down enough to where I should make a good profit. GT is paid for. I should be able to get enough to pay the Visa and cut my payments in half.
