It hasn't snowed yet!!
And as such there has been no salt put on the roads.. so I'm not ready to park it just yet!!
Took a little cruise, 75 mile round trip, to take my daughter to her grandma's house. She loves the vette because of all the attention and hates it for the same reason (can't go anywhere without being stopped for a bit of a conversation).
Anyway, Took a couple pics that I thought I'd share with you guys since before long all of us snowbirds won't have anything but pictures and peeks under the car covers (what, you don't put a car cover on yours while it's in the garage
).

mid/high 30s last week.
high 60s/low 70s this week.
Rain is suppose to move in later today bringing more cold weather for us here in NW Indiana. I rolled the dice that rain won't come until after work... brought my baby to work today!!
I know I'll end up causing myself grief at some point. Out giving the final wash/wax in 40 degree weather because I pushed it too far... it's going to be totally worth it too!

I am sitting here in Orlando wondering where is our snow...
Thanks for sharing pics I find motivation in stuff like that, but the buildings in the background seems a z-walker or two should be dragging through there...

Yeah I bet. My mom is down in FL, said it was 91 in Gainsville yesterday. That's pretty impressive this time of year, even for northern FL.
We have a lot of old cool buildings like that in the towns around me. I thought it would make a great backdrop for the old vette.

I start seeing cats post about storing their cars and forget I have it good in that way, to a degree, no pun coming but I do not do well in high heat, I would love high 60's all the time, some days it's too darn hot to do anything.
