Default Had OL YELER out today

It was an outstanding day today in Greenwood, IN. just on the southside of Indianapolis and I uncovered OL YELER (the 67 Coupe) and took her (ever notice how almost all guys car the car her) out for a little run to blow the winter dust off of her and let her go thru the gears. It sure felt good and I know OL YELER like it as well. Even stopped my her watering hole (gas station) and gave her a drink when she was ready to go back home. I put her back into the garage and covered her up with her fitted blanket and even put on another blanket this afternoon. The reason is, because the dumb weatherman says we right in the path to get 6" to 9" of SNOW starting on Sunday thru Monday . Hell I thought spring was here. Dam Groundhog. Off with it head. Night Night OL YELLER. I hope the weatherman is way wrong.

Looks good Mike It feels great to get them back out after sitting. I've had a couple of opportunities to drive but our winter just doesn't seem to want to let go. 6 inches of snow a couple of days ago and maybe more tomorrow night as your storm moves East.

At least the snow doesn't last long this time of year. Spring will get here eventually.

Great color!
I did the same thing. I didn't get no farther than out of the garage and the neighbor down the street rolled up in an Atomic orange ZR1,prior he had a AO Z06. Stopped at the gas station got $10 of premium winter gas Be glad when I can get the summer gas. Didn't know if I'd ever get out of the station from all the attention the Corvette was getting. I also saw a black 67 Corvette convertible when out on the road.

Rained all night here and just recently started to snow hard,they're predicting anywhere from 2to6" or 6to10".

And to think my wife wants to leave this beautiful weather in South TX. and head back to Indiana the first week of April. I'm trying to tell her May would be better. We drove the Vette to a cruise in last night @ 70+ degrees. Maybe I should just put her on the Greyhound. LOL

Back in 1971 I only missed 3 nights on the Roof Garden. Then I got married and have only made about 3 times in 42 years.

Default Welcome Spring Weather

Mike I really love that yellow coupe. Gotta be fun to own and drive. Weatherbug says 61 and mostly sunny here in Williamsburg. Plans are to take mine out for a spring cruiz with my son-in-law.

Happy Easter to all

Earl
