Taking pride and truly caring for these amazing engineered machines. I must say Corvette Owners are prideful people, and I'm honored and proud to be a member of this Forum and the classy Corvette Community.

It is painful to drive your special car in northern winters - I know from personal experience. I have done it in the past and it hurts to see a beautiful car coated from top to bottom in corrosive chemicals.

And it is getting cold particularly on those early mornings at Oh Dark Thirty heading to the golf course. Today it was in the 30's most of the way. Tomorrow I may have to put up the top.

I get the Master Blaster, funny looks from the neighbors all the time

So do you have the 14 ft, or 16 ft version of the air bag for use on the C7?

16 foot but I think you could almost get away with the 14. There's plenty of room with the 16. It's pretty cool but takes up so much space for a small two car garage. I'm debating taking it down and just putting the car cover back on and selling the capsul. In a larger garage it would be fine.

Wow Foosh. Must be nice to live like that. Live like a modern day Saudi Prince. Try buying that in South Florida where I live because you will pay 10x more what it costs you Maryland.

Mitch,

Believe it or not, my property is only 25 miles from downtown Washington, DC. It takes me 35-45 minutes to be at my office between the U.S. Capitol Bldg. and the Washington Monument.

Whatever floats your boat amigo because you could pay me enough $$$ to live anywhere near Obama and the corrupt and shady city that is Washington D.C., but I respect your desires for peace and quiet. Nice compound you got there, enjoy in good health.

Sorry Jon, I really resonated to all the comments about neighbors, and car bubbles, and master blasters, etc. I couldn't resist.

Yeah well, looks like it's about to get a lot worse, but thanks, we do enjoy it.
