Inge,
Sigh..., I sold my 1988 Corvette Convertable a few years ago for as
you I had no place to keep it when we moved here (NH) from SF CA and
like you we needed all year use of a second car. Thanks for the
reminder that I need to get the summer tires put on the Jag (XJ6) -
traded in the Vette for it.
By the way, the '88 isn't a Stingray - that's the model in the 70s as
I recall.
Sure was a blast to drive... 6 speed stick. Va roooooommmmmm!!!
Bob
P.s. Think of all the speeding tickets you won't be getting....
