I couldn't wait any longer. Called the insurance company Friday and put it back on the road. Brought it to work today. I saw a number of C5's and a couple C6's going to and from Dayton last night. It looks like hibernation is about over for all.

What are you waiting for?? We've had some great days to drive. It doesn't have to be warm to drive but if you want that today was perfect! Made it to 81 here in Indy.

driveing on 3-5 inches of ice on a bad drive way is not an adviceable thing to do.

It's not almost time. It is time I'm not as patient as some.

Gave it the first wash and wax job of the season today. Then drove around for 2 hours. Felt like I was 8 years old and it was Christmas morning.

Im waiting to see if next weekend looks like a go. RC isnt coming out until the roads are dry and all the salt and other crap is washed off. This is about the only time I think rain looks good.

Took it out over the weekend for a "shake-down" cruise. Fun ride and now rain will be the only reason for not driving it next weekend.
