Mine's a seasonal driver. I only bed her down for winter stasis.

Remember, no one ultimately owns a Corvette or any other material possession...all we're doing is keeping it nice for the next man (or woman) to take over.

Well after much thought, as much as I would love to drive her everyday..I just feel I can give her more attention maintenance wise while using the vette only as a weekend car..I don't want to have to worry if something goes bad such as the opti..I have to be in a rush to get it fixed because I need it for work...
There is also still a few things I want to do to the car myself such as transmission service,rearend fluid change,brakes,shocks,etc.....
So for now I will preserve "LADY CRIMSON" in the garage and take her out as much as I can in my free time.....

I drive my ruby 14 miles to work almost every day. Bought her in Feb with 54,000 and she now has 60,500. The LT5 purrs like a kitten (on steroids!)
