Default My only shot a summer

A torn rotary cuff has the next 6 months preoccupied with rehab. So last week went to Phoenix to spend some time with our son and his fiancé'. Was caught in the snow outside Albuquerque so we headed south to avoid the brunt of hit. Slowing down and we had no issues driving. I was a little white knuckled they way the rest of the world was driving. Was a good ride down even with the weather. The week with our son was great, even let him drive the nanna, he's hooked. The drive home was unbelievable. The mountains were a blast to drive and warm dry weather. But, the most enjoyable was the comfort of the car. People are always comment how it must drive rough, hard to get in and out of. Far from it, this was one of the most enjoyable rides we have driven out and back. The icing, set the cruise at 80, and it made 32 mpg. Truly a great machine that I can only hope everyone else is enjoying as much as we are.

Good luck with the rehab! I had mine done a couple years ago. Not fun. Use lots of ice after work out!

Good luck with your rehab. I see you have an auto trans which means at least you can still drive the "Nanna".

I agree. I got my first Vette last November and was really surprised what a nice cruiser it is.
