Default Uncovered the Vette today

We had a great day today. Temps were in the upper 50's and the sun was shining bright. Thought maybe it would be a good day to drive the Vette. Uncovered, light lucas spray wax, and fired up. No problems at all. My Son and I went for a 60 mile cruise. Topped off the fuel, then put it back away. This winter has been so wierd, maybe spring will be here before we know it. Al

Very mild winter and extended driving season for many. Just hope Mother Nature doesn't even things out with a wet spring and summer!!! How far from South Bend or Indy are you?

1hr from South Bend, 2 1/2 from Indy. We have taken the Vette to Indy for the weekend, but we drive to South Bend quite a bit to go to Dinner. We try to take the cars for road trips as often as possible. Al

Here in Regina I've been driving the vette the last 3 days. Took it to work on the midnight shift (underground parking) . I'll do that the next 3 nights.

I pulled up beside a young 16 yr old driver today. She rolled her window down , stuck out their hand as far as it would go and gave me a . I had to smile.
