Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.
2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
Filled up the tank today; put in the Stabil; rinsed the car down; put down the carpet squares for under the tires...
The only thing left is the cover...
Is it spring yet?
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Went to the Vett show at Amish Acres in Nappanee last Saturday 236 Vetts. On Sunday put SeaFoam in and filled up the tanks. Made one last pass through town 
and put them in the garage for the winter.

We still have one more show (like Paul, Corvettes for Chip). Then it goes back in the paint shop to repair the damage from me backing into it 
. THEN it goes into storage!

Yep, Backed into it the Tuesday before OC! You'll see the damage at C for C. I was going to have the frnt touched up anyway from all the stone chips earned going to Effingham. This just confirmed it! I was one sick puppy after it but Lew (my painter) just laughed and said he would handle it. Goes in right after the Chip show!

Yup I can definitely relate to your clip Paul.

I am hopping to get at least one more weekend before I put mine down to rest.
Sta-bil in the gas, fogging oil in the motor, raise it high so I can store stuff under it til spring.

Ive been reluctant about putting mine down for the entire winter....this will be our first winter together. Shes got a full tank and in our enclosed, detached garage and im afraid if i dont start her at least a few times a week, shell be a "b" to stat after the thaw. Is this a bad plan?
You don't have to start it a couple times a week, I'd say more like once a month. Make sure you pump the brakes when you start it to keep them loose.
