The vette is my weekend/date ride, but I do have to give the Mustang up in order to get me a small SUV to get me back and fort from my 50 mile comute to college. We get snow in the winter, and neither the vette or the stang can go out of town or even my driveway in snow or ice .

Sold a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, LT, Ext. Cab, 4x4 Duramax Diesel.

Just used it for getting around and in the snow, but we still have a Jeep 4x4 so its all good.

And Premium is cheaper than Diesel and I have my 'Vette, so all is good

I sold my NHRA Super Pro/Super Gas 1955 Chev. Vette's not near as fast but it sure handles alot better, both are hard on rear tires.
