Just wondering, I hardly drove my 99 C5 vert this year, and have about 600 miles on the last oil change. My question is it necessary for me to change the oil before winter storage, which I have always done year after year. With so little miles on the oil, could I just put her away as is, and change the oil in the spring?

You'll get several opinions on this.
Personally if it's less than 2 years I'd leave it.
Oil absorbs water (and other sh-it) and it can be bad if it's too old.
Others will tell you that oil is cheap, engine expensive.
Your call.

Murray is correct...I've read arguments on both sides. I've had Corvette's (C3, C5 and now C7) for 42 years, and I've always changed the oil first thing when it comes out of winter storage. Worked so far.
BTW, if you're moving it to storage make sure you get the oil nice and hot to burn off any contaminants. Never just run an engine unless you're going to heat cycle it.
Leave the oil change until you get your car out of storage, then change right away.
