Lol at not dailying a c7. What a waste to only drive a car on the weekends.

Thanks for all the kind feedback guys! But yea... I bought the car to enjoy the hell out of it. Cant have fun if it's locked away in my garage all the time.

As for tire wear, I swapped out my OEM Runflat tires (gets ~25-30k miles) for All Season regular tires (gets ~45k-50k miles). I also get a much quieter ride and all season drive-ability

Since this car gets 17 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway (prob 19-ish mpg combined), that's not TOO bad.

Corvettes are actually one of the best cars to drive in salt since there isn't any metal on the car besides the A arms and driveline which is all aluminum

It's really not that bad. Aftermarket parts can be. Most of the engine and driveline parts are shared with the pickup trucks and what not. It makes replacement parts affordable.

Warranty covers a lot of stuff too.... Usually I'd say you're "good" for the first 3-4 years or so.

By the time it runs into "problems," I'll probably be taking home a slightly bigger paycheck, so I can trade or fix (depending on how much I love it)

don't forget about almighty insurance fraud

I was generalizing. In warranty you are covered bumper to bumper of course. I was speaking about true maintenance costs, not out of pocket.

No, it's not.

Compare it to European cars and Asian cars in the same price range....it's not expensive.
