I could have basically copied your post and been accurate with my own Sunday experience here in SW WA... right down to taking my C7 off "life support". The only difference is mine is an even "lowlier" Stingray (Blade Silver 3LT w/o Z51)... yet I had a great time getting out on this singular nice day, venturing from Camas to north of Woodland... tooling around up there for a while... and then heading back.
Now, my Stingray is back in the garage, reconnected to life support, waiting for that next nice weather window to open. Looks like it's gonna be a while!

Used this past Sunday's decent weather window to jet out 14 east to Carson, as I'd been wanting to check out Backwoods Brewing. Fun drive and good microbrews!

OK, many here will think this thread is a waste of space and clicks and that's OK. Those folks can just move on. After what's been an unusually cold and wet winter we had a beautiful day today. It was mostly sunny, temps hit 60, and the roads were dry. I had to take the Stingray off life support (battery tender) and go for a drive. I'd had it out a few other times during the winter but today was by far the nicest day since last fall. To my surprise, I had forgotten just how much I love driving this car and how great I feel inside when I drive it. Mine is just a "lowly" Stingray coupe with Z51 but I couldn't love it any more than I do even if it was a loaded Z06. The acceleration is blistering, the sounds are magnificent, and the looks it gets from others are still amazing even though the C7 is now in its fourth model year. It was almost like driving the car for the first time. We are very fortunate to own these beautiful machines.

Wow - lot's of us from the PNW here! I'm also in Kent and we've had a couple beautiful days in the last week - I took off work on Thursday with my wife so we drove back roads to North Bend and had lunch, then drove over to Snoqualmie Falls to view the raging river/falls (just shows how much rain we've had this winter) and then a nice drive home.
Y'all check in occasionally to the PNW section of the forum - let's get together for some drives once the weather is nice again! If next Saturday (4/1) is rain-free, a big group of us are going to the Exotics @ Redmond Town Center - we'll look at all the exotic cars (all marques - Corvettes are welcome if C6 or C7 Z06 or "classic" I believe) and then have lunch at a local restaurant. If it's rained out, maybe the following Saturday.

Last Thursday was indeed a good day to be out and about after work. While not quite summer temps, I still took the top off the Vette and Kat and I went down to one of our favorite places on Puget Sound....Dash Point
Here's hoping that next Saturday is a clear, dry day.
