Default I took the cover off today...

Well I broke down and took the cover off today. The first time since January. I forgot how LOW you sit in it! LOL. It looks like we've got a couple of 8 degree days coming up this week. Maybe I can get her out for a drive...

If you see a Purple C3 riding around North Oshawa, flag me down Roy.

Does your licence plate say WHITLITN, or something similar? I often see a white C6 vert getting off the QEW at Burloak on my drive to work.

Nope, that's not me. I never did get the personalized plate. The new price turned me off.

I'm closer to Square One.

You and I met at The Bakery on the Weber's cruise this last fall Pat.

Well I've sinned in the eyes of the Corvette gods!... I took the car to work today. In my defence most of the snow has melted and if I stay in the middle lane it will stay dry

I can't wait to get mine out. I just bought her last April. I will never forget the feeling I had on the test drive. I was in seventh heaven. Test drive turned out to be an hour and a half drive. I was glowing for like two days after. I am thinking, that is how its going to be when I get it out this spring. I want to. The itch is there. However, to much snow and salt still on the roads here. Come on rain, come on nice weather!

Alas mines been out and is already in the shop. The top is once again giving me fits.

On the plus side I got the drivers seat cushion rebuilt while it was there. The drivers side exit bolster and the front of the seat bottom were pretty much FLAT. It should be much more comfortable now.

Keep your fingers crossed... I pick it up tomorrow.
