HEY Pewter,
Did you buy your car this year around November in Sandy Hook from an older couple? I saw an '01 pewter coupe on E-bay, looked beautiful, low miles, but I balked, it was a good deal as I recall. I'm formerly from Oxford, CT. Been in VA, now almost 2 years. I drove home with the top off my coupe in 78 degree temps yesterday, I've had it off now almost 15 times this season already, every time it's above 60. I'll have to look you guys up when I'm up visiting family in June, of course I'm taking the 'Vette. BTW, just love that Pewter color! Sure would have been easier to keep up than this damn black (I live on a dirt road).

Ah, I remember the old days of pulling my 68 out of the rented garage in Naugatuck, CT on a rare, sunny and dry January day. I can still hear a friend's voice asking me, "It's JANUARY; why the heck are you driving your Vette?" Connecticut is a beautiful place during Spring and Fall, for that I will award it credit!

114,000 miles on the FRC, i bought the car in '05 for $15k, no sense in worrying about a few chips
i do run some M&S tires in case i get stuck in some moderate snow storms
life is too short for lesser winter cars, IMHO
