Default Winter Storage Day

Decided to put my 2013 Vert into storage today. Bow, rifle and muzzleloader seasons are here along with other life events so decided it was time to change oil/filter and put it into winter storage. This summer sure wasn't what my wife and I expected when we pulled it out of storage last April. Between the passing and burials of our two remaining parents and unexpected health issues for me requiring multiple trips to Mayo Clinic with another coming up in Nov, our C6 travel plans had to be cancelled. It's our intent to resurrect those plans next summer. Sure do enjoy every minute I can be on the road with this vehicle.

Sorry to hear about your difficult Summer. My condolences to your family.
Good health to both of you over the winter, and a fantastic summer in 2024.

Sorry to hear of health problems and family loss, but before you know it Spring will return, and making plans is more fun then the trip itself.

Have good hunting season.....

I'm sorry to hear your bad news. Prayers for you and your family.
On a bright note, it sounds like you're ready to enjoy hunting season!

God bless you my Corvette friend.......I hope and pray for the best for your health! I am so happy that I live in Arizona where we can drive our cars year round! This is now our fall, winter spring season for great driving. This summer we had a ball with our mountain driving. Be safe hunting......
