Got the Vette out today

[Victory5]

60 degrees in my part of Kansas today, so I was finally able to get the Corvette out. I then spent the evening detailing it. Man, I didn't realize how much I missed it. It had only been 30 days since it was out, but it sure seemed longer.
I envy anyone in a climate that they can drive their Corvette year round and I can sympathize with those that are in snow and cold weather.
Spring will be here soon

It was 78 here today and will be tomorrow, I'll be getting mine out for sure.

 

[vett boy]

Well it's going to be zero tomorrow am but I may take it out .

I'm going out in the garage with a hot cup of joe and look at the "Brothers Blue"...

 

[Jistari]

I went down to put the new Insurance card in the vette the other day, just the smell was driving me nutz...spring !....spring ! when will it be spring

I'm one of those fortunate to be able to drive mine year round and I sympathize with those who can't. I had to leave mine in the shop for nearly a week once and it just about drove me crazy!

I wish an EARLY SPRING for you all.

Friday it was 75 deg. F in San Antonio! I had the Vette out, top down, Mr. Blue Sky over my head (and on the CD player), wind in my hair, and was lovin' life...!

Today, I'm back in Kentucky... It was ~32 deg. F this morning, freezing rain, and I was chipping my truck out of an ice cocoon in order to get to work... :ugh

Covered, charger on, won't come out until late April...don't even try to look at her, just kind of not think about it.

We have been lucky in Colorado this year, I've been taking mine to work, except for today, 8 degrees, and blizzard. Mods are done for this season. Still start her up once a week and treat the seats etc. Got to blow all off the tiny rocks off the engine. Where do they come from, Jeez

Those little rocks come from what CDOT puts down on the roads in winter. Do you change your tires over to Blizzacks or some other winter tire? The summer compound shouldn't do too well in the Colorado cold.

That's exactly why I don't drive mine very much during the winter. Colorado is windshield hell and from what I understand even with insurance, the C5 windshield replacement is not cheap especially if you have a HUD. Now, that's not to say I NEVER drive it in winter time. I drove this last Friday and Saturday.

 

[Rude98]

You kidding, I don't change the tires for winter. Thats TPM hell at 13 yrs. old. I don't drive in snow because of traction, and I don't feel like cleaning the baby off every time I drive either.

 

[CAPS Z]

You southern guys are lucky, I don't even remember what 75 degrees feels like!

 

[XLR8]

I ran errands today with the top down, wind blowing through my hair and the Black Keys wailing on the ipod.

Hope you guys get an early Spring.

Groundhog says it's coming. Believe he is related to weather persons.

Just came back from 8 days in south Florida. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! 75-85 sunny skies. I was envious to see all the vettes out. Can't wait for spring! Maybe I will take it out tomorrow and drive to the beach. 45 degrees I can deal with that.

I drove to the beach yesterday. To my surprise there were many guys with their cars and bikes. 30 miles each way. Nice Ride!
