It pains me to report that after 31 years of faithful (mostly) service, I have had to say goodbye to my Vette. The Spousal Unit would no longer get into the vehicle and she (the Vette) was deteriorating cosmetically & mechanically far beyond what would the cost would justify to put it into a condition worthy of its name. In addition, as one gets older, it becomes increasingly difficult to get in & out of the vehicle especially when one has back issues. What was my takeaway from my Vette ownership experience?
1. Vette is the best car ever made. 2. Vette is the worst car in wintery condition.
In case anybody reads this and wonders what I replaced the Vette with, the answer is...a Mazda. A freaking crossover Mazda. CX-5 GT. Vehicle is OK...but it ain't no Vette.
