Default Spring please, and soon.....

Anyone else ready to drive their C5, and for this long winter to be over?

Well, I'm officially envious of all you Corvette owners living in the south. I haven't driven mine since mid-October and I'm hoping to pull her out in a few short weeks! I can't wait! This winter has seemed especially cold and long. I'm more than ready to drive the Vette for the first time, yet again!!

Here in Maryland this year, we have been lucky. So FAR !! With the exception of about three weeks of some snow and ice, I've had mine out most of the winter. But your are right, come on Spring

Yep, I feel your pain. When I lived in NY I would go out and drive it anyway and then wash it and put it back in the garage. It works try it. Oh it was only 85 here today..............Have to rub it in.

Mine has been stored since the end of last October and I'm biting-at-the-bit to get it out of storage. We got another 4"-5" inches Saturday morning. I'm sooooooooo tired of this weather.

I was lucky enough a couple days ago. Due to my cig habit I was headed to the store only to find that my seldom used truck battery was down..............SO I went to the other garage and unhooked the maintainer from the VETTE and took a cruise. NEVER so happy to find a down battery!

You're welcome to move down South....... as long as you bring your Vette.

Tell me about it, I'm worse off then all. I bought an 04 vert in mid october and only got to put 175 miles on it, then the snow and ice hit. I'm counting the days for the insurance to come back into effect. 5 days 3 hours and 47 minutes. Maybe a sin to some, but I don't care if its 20 degrees, wet and salty roads that baby is coming out of the nest.

It was 8 degrees this morning in Ohio. Spring can't come soon enough for me.
