Noob from Oregon
Haven't got a Corvette yet, but in a few months I'll be getting a C5. A quick first question or two, how well does a convertible tolerate being outdoors (I don't have a garage). Oregon's winter can be wet and cold, I'll forgo getting a ragtop if it isn't advised, I'd like to keep it presentable.
Thanks Dudes and Dudettes!

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!
Good luck with the shopping. Enjoy the Forums.
C5 convertibles are fine here although it isn't the preferred treatment for them.
Check out the Pacific Northwest Regional Forum for local members, events and discussion......and you can ask for opinions from other locals.

Thanks, I'll do just that. I just didn't know if they were prone to leaking after being outside for years, or the top deteriorating. Couldn't be any worse than my T-Top Fiero.
