Good for another year.
Just took my ’04 vert for its 12 month oil/filer change and bumper to bumper inspection/test drive by my go-to- vette mechanic and all is well. I drive during the winter when there is no wetness/snow/salt on the roads. I like driving the car all year long and when you have that special day in winter with temps in 45+ degrees, I drop the top and cruise. No storage for this vette driving guy. Anyone out there like me?

I'm with C5Txfan. It takes about 65 degrees for me to put the top down, but as long as the road is dry, I'm ready to ride!

Drifting
No salt here, I do drive mine (usually) a good 11 months out of the year. I need to replace my wheel hubs and my weekends have either been busy or rainy, so I haven't driven mine in a couple months. It's killing me.
<edit> I get about 3 oil changes a year on average (5k intervals).

On rare occasions I'll get my car out of storage during the winter, but it is just that, rare.

I had a 2002 Camaro SS I drove through the winter one year - never again. Nothing like stepping on the gas on a flat street when a light turns green and you just sit there slowly spinning not moving at all. lol
