Default A Summer with Anni

We got our first Vette in April, an 03 Anni Vert A4 with 315s

pros:
Driving a vette for the summer

cons:
Putting it away for the winter


Our 50th Anni vert is going to be parked in the garage beside the boat for the winter. We will miss the power, handling ,comfort and the sheer rush of driving highway at any speed you want and passing just about any time you want. We started with 20000 miles and ended the summer with 32000. We removed the runflats and noted a big improvement. Had an air pump changed on the drivers seat on warranty, otherwise no problems at all. I can understand why some people would park there vette in thier garage to just look at (they are a very sexy car to look at) and only drive it once in a while but to us it just more fun to drive it. We found the forum entertaining, homorous and full of information and we went with a vert after the comments of the vert owners. Thank you all and see you on the road in the spring.

12000 miles is a good summer of driving! I drive mine every chance I get and only rack up about 5-6k miles. To bad you have to put it away so soon!

Looks like you and I have the same car. I got mine in April as well.

I put mine away for the first winter but never again. If the roads are clear, I'm going to take her out. But I don't live in BC either. Have you thought about moving to a warmer climate for health reasons?

That is alot of driving! Good Job! I bet getting rid of those run flats made you want to drive it even more.
