Default Summer in New England

Well, it sure feels like it ... upper 80s the last couple days.

Yesterday, I saw SO MANY vettes out driving.
First one I saw was in the highway going to work ... turquoise 71 vert - perfect.
Next was a C4 vert, nice. Third was a C5 coupe. Then, I got to work.
In the afternoon, I went out for an errand and saw a nice drop-top C2
with sidepipes.
So, I saw at least one of each Gen - except for C1 and C6.

This morning, driving in the rain, I see a white rubber bumper C3 at a local
business (seen it there B4) ... then a couple miles later another white
rubber bumper C3 parked at the park. Hello people ... it's raining today.

Everyone have a great weekend and enjoy your vette if you can.
I will be buying some gas for my garage queen (ran out when starting her last weekend).

I'm thinkin' about rollin' up to the Stowe show this summer -- I know a vendor who stakes out three spots and hosts poker 'till whenever. I haven't been to Stowe in a few years -- what's the Vette scene like?

I know what you mean Dave, I'm lovin the warm weather! It's about time, I thought April would never end....

I passed a real nice looking red C3 on my way home from work 3 days in a row this week - it made me very envious I guess I better get back out into the garage so I can finally finish mine! Hopefully you're making good progress on yours!

NE would make a nice road trip some day. Maybe when the kids get a little bigger.
New Englanders must have more class than Minnesotans. Old vettes are rare as hen's teeth in these parts.
