Default Finally out of the garage!

It's getting a little warmer around here and I finally brought my C6 out of the garage she's been in since the beginning of January.
Can't believe how much fun she is to drive! This is going to be a great summer!

I've been driving my C6 to work more often than my other car for the past two weeks now. It's that time of year folks!

I still haven't seen another Corvette on the road in my travels though, so no waves just yet.

No, but I was at Krown getting the chassis treated and some special cosmetics to help her look good.

Just got mine unwrapped and cleaned up today, but still haven't put the full insurance on it, so it's still not on the road.

If things go well, maybe by next weekend.

Finally got mine out today after several hours of spring yardwork which my back really doesn't appreciate.
