I just came back from RI where I picked up my Dad's 2004 truck to borrow for a couple of weeks.

Envy me, too JP. Envy me, too!

Very good, Wayne; enjoy. But "summer car"? As Tom commented, no need to limit your enjoyment to that extent. Although they don't turn Corvettes into snowplows, so-called "all season"(not quite)tires are available in sizes for your Corvette and are fine in the cold or even light snow. Continental and Michelin have very good ones available.

With all the house renovation going on I don't really have the time or the opportunity (dumpster in driveway) to drive the car.

The summer only tires tend to turn to solid rubber when the temps get to 6c or less so, not a good feeling for spirited driving.

However next spring as soon as possible it goes back on the road, summer only was my error as obviously it will be everything but winter.

And being a realist, I do realize that my window of opportunity for enjoying this car is not as large as I would like. I will be racking on the miles in 2012.

Cheers

Beautiful Wayne!! Vettes have always been my favorite car outside of the impossibly priced genre.

I agree. Get some good all seasons (just in case) and taker for a rip or two when the fall weather is nice. I would assume you do not have to suffer through the "salt on the roads" thing we do here. No snow or ice here yet but soon the salt trucks will be out making the roads safe to drive but slowly destroying our vehicles from the bottom up.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
