Suffering from winter withdrawal!!
 
Man it's tough living in the northeast! Bought my new Vette at the end of last July and only put 1000 miles on her since I bought her and that includes the drive home from Maryland, and the trip to and from Carlisle in August. Then she got covered up in November. Now with the C7 out and eveyone on this forum posting up pics of their rides with the top down, I'm dying!!! I sure hope that damn groundhog says an early spring or I'll go nuts for sure! :willy:

bought mine end of november, up to 1100 miles. took the afternoon off yesterday and had some top down time as it hit 70 here in pa. it was overcast but not raining. good for another few weeks

It's no better here in the midwest. I'm ready for winter to be done. Come on early spring!

I go in my garage every day and work on them, putting on new mods, that is good enough for me. I don't even get itchy until at least April.

Johnny_B_Good 01-31-2013 09:44 PM

I know the feeling.....48 more days till Spring. Unfortunately, Spring in the Northeast can have some nasty weather too.:ack:

peter pan 01-31-2013 09:46 PM

Was out all day and it was a chilly 60s:D

C6RaceCar 01-31-2013 09:57 PM

Should have never put it away. There are plenty clear and dry cold days to drive it. Silly little man.

Iconic 01-31-2013 10:06 PM

I feel your pain. -10 below zero here, and I have just 27 miles on mine.

HOXXOH 01-31-2013 10:13 PM

Pack the bags, get the car out, because Key West is only a 2 day drive.

Next week post up the pic of the US1 Begins sign beside your car with the top down.

C'mon, what are ya waitin for? Live it up a little.

4SUMERZ 01-31-2013 10:47 PM

I'm in my garage almost everyday, doing something like mods, etc. If I'm really bored, I'll just input addresses into the Nav for future trips, and hope Spring comes SOON! :cheers:

It sucks to put up the car, but it makes it so much sweeter to get it back out in the Spring. It makes it seem like a brand new ride, each and every year.

You've got my sympathy for having to hibernate your car all winter. You might be hard-pressed to make it here on short notice but it's supposed to be 75 in Tucson this weekend. Here's to an early spring! :cheers:

Andrew6@TheDoubleAA 01-31-2013 11:11 PM

It's always summer here in Houston.

R&L's C6 01-31-2013 11:38 PM

I'm with ya brother.... this is the time of year I start to get antsy and sick of winter. :willy:

It's -12 now and really windy here. :ack:

70goat 02-01-2013 01:37 AM

10 weeks of winter left here

Rich Mickol 02-01-2013 08:13 AM

I don't completely put it up for the winter anymore. On the batttery tender and under a couple king size sheets. If the weathers nice, out she goes. :thumbs:

Big Dan 427 02-01-2013 08:18 AM

Same here in CT, I feel your pain OP! By the way love your user name, that would make a great license plate!:thumbs:

I pull my car out into the driveway once a week and let her run for 15 minutes, I can't bring myself to driving it on these salt and sand laden roads, it's just not worth it to me!! I figure 75-90 more days, for the cars sake I can wait!!:D

Garret 02-01-2013 08:56 AM

I can wait..cause I need new tires and that is not cheap.

Ken_C8 02-01-2013 09:47 AM

I live just outside of Boston and feel your pain. My brand new car has barely ever seen the light of day. I did take it out last night for a quick blast on the highway. What a rush. Can't wait until I am able to put the top down for the very first time. Spring is just around the corner- I hope.

Joz132 02-01-2013 10:56 AM

-3 degrees here in Chicago this morning - Not going anywhere anytime soon :(
