Who Drove Their Car Today With The Top Down Or Off?
After a cold and wet spring the weather has warmed up here in Northeastern PA. It was 75o today and time to take the Vette out for a cruise.
It was great to drive all day with the top down. I can't wait until tomorrow to do the same.

And good Lord did my feet cook. My next project will be more firewall insulation.
I also took my cousins 9 year old son for his first Corvette ride. He loved every minute of it but the poor guy had a hard time seeing out of the car.

It was a nice sunny day in northern California.
I drove around for 30 minutes with the T-Tops off, and just a short cruise around the neighborhood and town.

The weather is fantastic here in Sydney today 
(and it aint summer or spring here)...31 degrees Celcius..wow
but unfortunately I can only imagine sitting in and driving my vette with the t tops off and rear window out
cause its still on its way home.

It's probably more of a luck charm than anything else. But...it was a sad attempt of mine to add a few HP to an L-48.
p.s. You have a sharp looking '80 yourself.

Going up to 80 in Chicago today but ...
... it was only 47 F on the way in to work. Should have worn some gloves along with a heavier jacket but couldn't resist top down motoring in. Rolled up the windows and turned on the heat! As our daily highs should still only be in the 50's these few days are a bonus ... just got the 'vette out of winter storage this past weekend. Just getting the feeling back in my fingers ... but was smiling all of the way in!
