As several comments have opined, I am not saving my Vette for the next owner. At 75, this is my pleasure (along with my stipend of beer each day,

) that I am not going to stop driving for 5/6 months. Happy motoring/storage everyone.

I'm with you. I bought it to drive, not to look at. I had a buddy that had a Vette in the 70's (I forget what year it was, but not rare or collectable at the time), he had a custom paint job done on it and at first he would only drive it on nice warm sunny days, then he always seemed to have an excuse why he wouldn't take it out and finally he realized he hadn't driven it in over a year because he was so afraid something would happen to that nice paint job. He wound up selling it. I don't want to be that guy. :-)

I put it in a storage unit because I don't have a garage but on sunny days when there's no salt on the road I take it out and drive it. Top down, heat cranked up!
