Don't pay any attention to those guys. I live in Ann Arbor, and I took mine out today too, for the first time this year. Won't be long before I'm driving it every day...!!!

I still got another month or two until i can get the vette out for a spin, so feel lucky all who can drive theirs. It is snowing at the moment, but that makes for a greattime to work on the vette in the garage.

More tornadoes...and more hail...and more tornadoes...this day has sucked. I did actually get the 77 out for a few hours, though, only to have my tachometer test of the rear gear ratio screwed up by a balky tach.
