Default Screw it!

I'm done with winter. Taking a trip to Grand Rapids, MI this Saturday - supposed to be 66 deg and partly sunny.

The Vette is coming out of storage.

When are you taking yours out?

Been driving mine all week here in Chicago. My storage is my garage, so when I feel like it, I drive it.

I have been driving off and on all winter here in Reno NV when the sun is out and the roads have been cleared of sand and salt out I go. Still can not wait until summer so I can drive with the top down.

Mine won't come out this week - calling for rain through the weekend.

Maybe next week if I'm lucky.

Well "Sunshine State" may be a bit of a misnomer but it is possible to take "Maggie" out often any day, of every week, of the year... (when it is not on blocks to get a few mods done). So, I really cannot imagine the emotions you deal with up north!

That said, however I might possibly be moving up north at the end of the year...
...and I am NOT AT ALL looking forward to parking my Corvette for the winter!

I think I need to invent a "treadmill" to drive on in the winter

Anyway Im glad you will get to cruise soon...

Feels like forever since I've had mine out, but it's been out all winter. We didn't have to much snow to worry about. Finishing the cam install on Saturday so hopefully Sunday I can take it out after the tune.

Hoping soon here in WI, after a couple rains to clear the roads. A tough winter after having just bought it in June of last year. I'm ready!
