We just got back from our last Corvette ride for this year. It is a beautiful day here in central Florida so a topless ride to the lakefront was in order.
Now to get ready for the new year party.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and be safe if you are out on the roads tonight.

did my last ride of the year yesterday. I checked my notes and realized I didn't even hit 3000 miles this year. I guess I'll have to improve on that in 2013.

Just got back from mine, and even felt a bath was in order at the end. Cold air makes for some nice power, but also makes for an uncomfortable wash

Must be nice, mine has been in storage for two and a half months already. Got about 15 inches of snow now here in southern Wisconsin.

If it makes you feel any better, the only reason why I had to wash mine was because it snowed here last week, and some parts of LI still had the dusting of salt on the roads

Last drive of 2012 was last night. 1st drive of 2013 was this evening. I'll be driving it tomorrow too for a wheel alignment appointment. If I waited til the snow melted , I'd have about 3 days of driving.
