And here is why the vette has to sit out. Had to pull it out of the garage to the new DirectTV cable install could be done in the garage. Notice the camaro got the red carpet treatment from the garage. (otherwise it would get stuck),

If it has to sit outside, then why don't you use a car cover?

I rented a garage here for the winter for $40.00 a month with electric for the battery tender. Older woman who no longer drives was glad to have the $$$, and I was glad to have a safe storage spot.

Geeeezzzzzz I hate winter!!! It's 5 here without windchill, and tomorrow is to be colder with a blizzard tonight. Come on Spring!!!

Somewhere on my computer, I have a picture fairly similar to that. They don't melt in the snow and rain.

Seeing the title I was expecting to see hot, scantily clad women sitting on a perfectly good vette....

Silly me, back to my mojito!

For about $500

Wrong! Vette is inside the garage where it should be. Wife's and son's car are outside.


No, it's not Florida. Back in Maryland where I came from.
I bet you don't miss being up here much.

What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?


Nothing. You told her twice.

Even though she knows thery're made fibergalss and their body panels don't rust. That was the buying point of this car when I got rid of the '82 Camaro. You're gonna get us all trouble

Looks like I left Parma just in time...

South Caroline has great weather. I can drive mine all year round.

Default Snow Plow Option?

How bad does the snow plow option hurt your gas milage?

Gee, I wish we could really own our own property here in America instead of renting it from the government.
