Wow I don't know about the rest of you but we have had a really mild winter so far!I put my vette away the 2nd weekend of November which now looks to be way to earlytoday sunny 50's,Thur sunny high 40's Fri sunny high 40's Next week kinda the same Who knew?
 
We found your cold temperatures. They are in cloudy SoCal.

Vette's in the air anyway, with multiple issues, going down one at a time.
 
I'm with ya. Put mine away end of October and there have many a good day here in Western NY. It's suppose to turn colder and snowy so then I'll really be thinking of spring
 
I put mine put up a few weeks ago (I super clean them, change fluids, battery maintainer and cover them) and sunday was the second sunny day in a row and my new girlfriend hadn't ridden in a Vette, so I pulled out the 94 put the top down had a great sunday and got home, just before it started to rain... :D There is a God and he wants me to keep my Vette dry..... :upthumbs
 
I have been holding off putting the 90 away. Drove it about 130 miles on Monday. looks like I just might get another week out of it. :D Been saying that for 6 weeks now . May have to have some kind of service when I put it away.:L Was 49 in sunny Iowa today. WalePirot, You just keep it there for another month.:Steer

:v :BOW:CAC
 
So sad! So glad!

Not rubbing it in, but very happy to be able to drive year around here. Drove to work last week at night with the top off. The only thing special I do for the winter is put the clear top on because I can't use it in the summer with the heating from the sun!

Gonna be 40's here the next couple days so my Vette will be out. I feel bad for the guys that put their Vettes away. When I am driving mine they are praying for spring. :upthumbs

:beer
 
I had mine out for a run on Sunday. It has been mild and no snow. There has been a fair amount of rain. I've only taken it out once this month. The cold weather is upon us. I will take it out as long as there is no salt or rain on ground.
 
Mines on dry weather only duty. Its too damn cold to wash it. Its been clean since i washed it and waxed it during the middle of november. It hasnt snowed and the roads are salt free. It is however 18 degrees out right now. I dont care though as long as its not raining im driving it. The cold weather wont hurt it. Next snow and its away till spring.

Yup, I just got back from a little cruise in mine. People ask why I drive it, and I just tell them I can't go through 3-4 months of just looking at it.

Amen Justin!! I had mine out a couple times this week and will be driving it again tomorrow and Sunday. I tell my buddies that while other guys are waiting for Spring I am enjoying my Vette year round.

:bar
 
Just had mine out today actually. The roads are clean, and the temp was 39 degrees. I did get a few strange looks. I just love bieng behind the wheel. Makes me wonder why I dont live in a warm climate all year around.

If you would put the top up in 39 degree weather,,,people would not look at you so strange...LOL.

With the threat of a huge storm with lake affect, (6-12 inches of the white stuff). think that the vette will be done for a while.:cry At least I will get to play around in my bros SUV.
 
40's today but drizzle,50 thur,55 fri,55 sat,53 sun,45 mon the problem all the white stuff melting makes for too messy conditions for me.But,if the roads get pretty clear and dry by sat or sun I think A drive is in my future
