Why all the apprehension? After all it's a Corvette not some over complicated exotic that you can't find parts for if you break down. Think positive. You and your car will be fine.
Have a safe trip and enjoy the ride.

I got rid of the coopers yesterday, replaced with some BFG TAs 255 60s. Thanks for the moral support. I have arranged a rescue party if needed though!
