Default Out of storage-today

Got our '90 coupe, Z-51, out of storage today. Polo green, 8500 original miles. Ran like a top.

Your lucky, I can wait to get mine out of the shop/winter storage. It will be at least a month for all the snow to melt. Then 3 weeks or so for the mud to dry up.....then Varooooooooom

Why...at 8500, do you actually drive the car?!?!?

Its times like these I appreciate that I live on the west coast.

Too bad I don't have a C4 to pull out of the garage, though. :/ That really needs to change.

Btw, only 8500 miles? Jeese. That almost seems like a shame to me, being driven that little.

So at this rate, it will take a total of 282 years to hit 100,000 miles!

I found the car in 2012 with 6023 miles on it. Did some work to get it in shape and have driven it some each summer. My wife and I enjoy taking it to various cruises and shows. We won 5 shows last summer. It's a car that I want to preserve as it is for posterity. I feel that putting a lot of miles on it at this stage won't do it or me anything good. People who see the car marvel at the fact that it is in the shape it is and the low mileage. We drive it when and where it suits us. If anyone else finds a car like this I doubt that you would make it a daily driver.

Of course not as a daily driver, nor would I use any Vette as a daily driver. My 95 is mint but gets driven whenever possible on nice days here in the Mts.

Glad you get the chance to get your car out. Yall have had a pretty intense winter and we got the southern version, the chilly, rainy and generally gray and crappy by FL standards Winter is supposed to be our dry season. Finally hit 82 today so we are on the way to another summer.

Hang on, spring is almost here!

Finally had a day above 32. I also got my 90 coupe out of storage and on the road for about 100 miles. Forecast is for 60 on Sunday. Plan on putting 250 miles on it then. It's running like a Swiss watch!!!
