Don't know how you guys do it! Not driving your Vettes for so many months.

First car show of the season a week from today, here. I am not a show hound. Only do it to promote our show and hang with car people!

Damn you guys. I think I'm still a month away with all the snow and salt still around...

BTW - They were pre-treating our roads yesterday for possible snow tonight!

Still waiting to get mine out - praying for a good rain soon to clean off the streets.

It's painful..... But when you get her out after a winters slumber it's

Makes you appreciate the car even more then if you could drive year round.

I took mine to Florida last week. Made it in and out of Michigan luckily with no snow on the roads. Now it is back in the CarCapsule waiting for this stuff to melt off and dry up!

Pretty sure we're done with snow for the year around here and we've had lots of rain to wash the salt away.

Took it out last week, for a very short drive, too much salt, fresh bath yesterday afternoon and went to a B party last night and it felt great to be back on the road this year fresh tires (conti's), X pipe all is good.

I haven't driven my car in 2 and a half weeks and I've already annoyed my girlfriend to the point where she may leave me because I won't stop complaining about it. Thankfully I helped my brother in law pay off his cougar and he's letting me drive it, so I have the best sleeper in the state to cruise around in.

I've had mine out 3 times this month. Lot's of salt dust, but hey, what the hell. I'm having withdrawals. Enough of this %#*@&ing winter.
