Default Damn you Mother Nature and your New England weather!!!

Finally got the Vette back together and wheels back on the ground (after being on jack stands almost all winter). Drove it work today as its a nice sunny day with temps nearing 50!

Because it was in the garage all winter, in order for me to be able to pull it out, I had to move my snow plow. Based on the weather reports, I need to leave it on the truck, because...... we're getting 4-6" of snow, TOMORROW! Possibly up to 12" depending on the track of the storm. W.T.F.!! The Vette is only out today because I'm dropping it off at a buddy's garage/shop to have the oil sending unit replaced, and he'll swap out my exhaust while it's there (using his lift). It'll stay at his shop for probably at least a week, until all this new snow melts!

So, here's today's ride...





and here's tomorrow's ride...

After 30 years up there I decided to follow the birds since most are smart enough to leave and head south for winter. My vert gets stored a few months during summer when I return north after the snow melts and the salt is off the road. No regrets.

Work would frown upon that. Seeing as I'm an accountant, winter is my busy time!

Bring some of that Florida sunshine back with you, please.

Nice ride you've got and at least you got to drive it today. Sucks about the snow though. Hopefully it will be on the lower end of the prediction and it will melt fast.

Well BAT, as a dyed in the wool northeasterner, and former snowplow operator, I understand your pain but also like both of your vehicles.
