Nothing like 1 inch of snow (followed by some frigid temps) to really much things up here in Chicagoland. Oh well, that's and more is expected for the month of Feb.
51 days and counting until April 1st!

I found that out very quickly while turning around in our cul-de-sac. I've never heard tires make such a terrible noise in my entire life.

Wouldn't that be a kick in the groin . . . 3 miles and cracked tires. I had the dealership over inflate the tires to 45 lbs before they delivered it because I knew it would be sitting for several months.

I saw a C2 on Wednesday night and a C7 yesterday. Sometime last week I saw a C6 and a C4 out. Some people have been scratching the itch.
For me this winter is easy peasy, sold the 2008 in October, and the 2016 arrives in April so no car in the winter to store means no car to take out when it's sorta nice.

Better Yet, only 29 days until the first official day of spring (March 20th) and usually we are good to go right around then for the fun cars to be out full time!
