Three of them did and it seems like that is becoming more of a problem for folks. I wave all the time.

This weekend we took a drive to Lockhart, TX for some BBQ and a short drive on 130. They really need to fix some of those bumps on 130. Had to back off to 75 a couple of times.

Had the Corvette out on Saturday, snow showers developed. Got it slopped up, salt is gone since early March.

Took a leisurely 6.5 hour drive to Beeville where I ran 8 times and as fast as 159.2 mph at the Texas Mile. I then drove the 6.5 hours back home again. Car is filthy, may need new brake pads, and has stickers all over it. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Just got back from a month in the Fl. keys near record high temp. All month mid to upper 80's only had 1 cloudy day. Almost all the snow is gone here on Cape Cod but the roads have more sand and salt than the beaches we just left. I'd move there in a heartbeat can't convince my wife saw only a handful of vettes a ton of camaro's and mustang's I' ll be getting the car ready to go I' m guessing 2-3 weeks before they clean the roads then we get to look forward to pollen season.

The snow may have melted here in NJ but the potholes are ever present. Temporary patching is now under way but this leaves asphalt “pebbles” all along the roads where work has taken place. We’re sill a few weeks away from Corvette friendly drives.

We did a 260 mile round trip to go visit our oldest daughter and two of our grandkids. Still a little cold so the top stayed up. Yesterday we did another 220 mile round trip winery day with the top down.

A ride this weekend? NO!

Was raining yesterday and in the 80s, today it was cloudy, drizzled all day, and had a high of 46 friggin' degrees.

So I worked all day instead. There are advantages to being self-employed. Everything worked out.

My inspection ran out today, was going to take it in to my buddy's tomorrow to get it inspected but it's supposed to rain tomorrow too -- so screw it for another day or so. I spit-shined it last weekend, ain't taking it out in this crap.

WTF 46 degrees really??? In NY at this time????

I'm in NJ and it was pretty warm yesterday. Sunny and 88. Today, i took the car out late morning because i knew a storm and tons of rain was coming but the temp was still around 80. So i got my joy in this weekend. I only take my car out on weekends so it's nice when both saturday and sunday are nice. I got home today, let the car cool down. Threw the cover back on, then it started to downpour exactly 3 minutes later. lol i just made it lol

Yup, here in western NYS. I had to start a fire in the stove, house was very cold and damp. Very unusual for almost June, although last year wasn't any better.

A real sucky day; I'm glad I had the option of working.
