Default Brakes, Storage, Action !!

Not that you northerners all didn't remember, but I just did here in Michigan. It's probably time to go out into the barn and give the brakes a good dozen pumps or so (just push harder if power brakes). Keeps them from getting storage disease - like seal leakage. You lucky folks down south can just go for another drive

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Thanks for the reminder. Sounds like a good reason to go see my car.

Greg,

Glad I could be of assistance I see you're just down the road. I'll let you know when good weather gets here, then wait 15 minutes

This is a good reminder for anyone with a vette that has been setting for a little while. Everyone run out to the garage and give those brakes a couple of pumps.

Boy, I wish spring worked that way. I'm currently working in Lansing and have called home a number of times with weather warnings.

This is something that only Michigan folks will understand.

BTW, thanks for the tip.
