Message from the Prez . . .The other day we received the 'offer'
to continue insurance on ourhouse and cars, and thankfully the
premium on the '03 50thAnniversary Vette was lower than Cindy's
2018 Subaru Impreza. It gotme to thinking first about insurance and
then protection of theAmerican Sports Cars we enjoy so much.Did you
know that on average monthly insurance rates on Corvettesrun $181?
(data compiled from public insurance state fillings from the
top 5 carriers, on typical,middle-aged male driver)I hope your
beating thataverage , wh ich i sKansas is $116. Mainehas the lowest
averageinsurance cos t on aCorvette of $76, withIowa second - $84
thenIdaho - $88. The mostexpens ive s ta tes toinsure a Corvette
areLou is iana $206 ,Michigan (home of GMi ron ica l l y ) $204
.[Somebody needs a newinsurance commissioner,eh?]

Protection of a Corvette comes in many different packages
ofcourse. Here's the CarCapsule which you can use to keep yourVette
dry and dust free. No idea how easy it is to get it out whenit's
time to go play though. I'm sure you've met some Vette Owner who
takes protecting hisPride & Joy way too seriously. (But the
sentiment here is a bitunderstandable) To be sure - to really show
your love for your Vette, you gotta get it out on the road and let
it burn through somehigh octane fuel. So drive & enjoy!
