Also it looks like I'll have to shop elsewhere for a rental if I want to actually tow the Vette to the track. AVIS not only does not rent trucks, but they don't allow any towing at all.

On the other hand, there's plenty of room in a two car garage to keep a tire trailer.
I told ya, BUDGET!!!! They have the best truck fleet in the biz.

Tire trailer? you thinking about changing tires at the track? Remember, summer is really hot in SoCal. 100º+, after racing, changing tires doesn't seem like to much fun, more fun to just throw it on trailer, and stay cool.

Default You have to ask youself this question

If not for the offer, would you spend $450.00 a month on a leased vehicle? Leases, sometimes referred to as "Fleeces" are the biggest ripoff known to man. Take the money, save a few months worth and buy a beater if you want two cars and pocket the rest into an savings account. $450.00 a month? You might as well go hand out $20.00 bills to the homeless.

Brian,

There is a great Corvette Club In Palmdale/Lancaster area.

Check out the Antelope Valley Corvette Club, I was in that club from 1973 to 1991 when I left California, they are a great bunch.
