I take my 65 vette out for a short run on Sundays during the winter, i.e., 10 -15 minutes. The car is kept in a heated garage. Last night was an exception. My son's car needed repairs so I left my vette outdoors overnight last night so we could work on his in heated space. Temps got down to low 20s. After warming up the vette, I went for my short Sunday morning drive. I noticed that the brakes were very soft, at low speeds it wasn't a problem but would've probably had difficulties stopping the car at highway speeds. Any idea as to why the vette, after being exposed to low temps, would have a problem such as this?

Thanks,

Bill
 
Disregard. Cold weather had nothing to do with it. Low on brake fluid was the problem and adding some was the solution.

Those are the best.........when you work it out for yourself.
