I test drove it in the rain, and the first day I owned it, I drove it on gravel. I then drove it in the rain again on the way home (over 500 miles on the long way from Fredericksburg to Prince Frederick). I drove it in the snow a few days later.

I can't even count the number of road trips (the longest of which is over 8,000 miles).

The C6 and C7 are the best cars I have ever driven long distances ( and I have over a dozen trips across the US and vast portions of Canada).

I agree with others about the expel and stretch bra.
Some "local" summer or fall destinations could be the Outer Banks, Cape May, Newport RI, Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor Maine, Vermont.
Oh yes, the Corvettes at Carlisle weekend.

Wife and I just got back from Kitty Hawk (Kill Devil Hills) NC - Stayed at Shutters. 4 hr drive,
Clean, on the Beach and the parking spots were all 1-1/2 wide

Tossed on my Novistretch Bra and off we went.

Great little 3 day trip, would do it again in a second

I've driven my Corvette to Maine, to the Corvette museum, Memphis, to Virginia, to Ocean City MD, to PA, Key West, Charleston, SC, St. Augustine and all over Florida, and to Baltimore too. I'd recommend a Novi Stretch Bra and Mirror etts. They won't stop big stuff but does protect your car from ingesting bugs and nasty critters. Make sure to take a bucket and cleaning stuff along with some dryer sheets which removes bugs and tar. Use good gasoline and have a great time. Here's me ready for my last trip. Make sure you pack your car well too!
