In 2020 I traded my 15 C7 vert for a 20 911C4S. Once you go Porsche you dont go back.

Usually about 75 mpg, but it depends on how you drive.

Maybe $100 per year.

Of course! It's best to go on the used tire market, there are lots of tires out there with a ton of tread left, that came off of Mustangs after they were wrecked leaving a Cars 'n' Coffee.

If your roof is wavy, your friends at various Corvette related websites will laugh at you about it. It's great fun!

I used to do the wave while in my Corvette but unless I had the top off, I kept getting headaches so I stopped doing it

Can I save money by using cheap regular gas?

Absolutely, the fuel injectors blow out any particles that may accumulate so use the cheapest gas you can find.

Can I drive my Vette in the rain?

Don’t, repeat don’t drive a Vette in the rain. Pull over under an overpass if you notice a drop on the windshield. You will be rewarded by selling it for top dollar as never being driven in the rain!

The most crucial thing you can do to appreciate your car's true value is to find out just how rare it is. If you can find out if Jim the assembly guy got divorced the day your corvette was built and he stripped the 3rd driver's side bumper bolt, your corvette is certified 1 of 1 unique and worth tons of dollars

1994 triple black vert, 80k miles. Yep, I drive it as much as I can.
I had a Torch Red '96 coupe also but sold it last summer. I am looking currently.
