Default Morning Cruise to Work

It's a beautiful fall morning here in South Central Tennessee. Thirty miles of rural curving country road into work in the Corvette. That's what owning these unique vehicles is all about.

Drove my baby in as well today...A little chilly this morning (people tend to llok at the guy with the top down this time a year as kinda strange...but I would rather throw on an extrat sweatshirt and gloves then keep the top up) here in NoVA but supposed to get up to near 70.

Figure this is probably one of the last times I can drive her this year, temps were high 30's when I left home, I opted to leave tops on....just too cold, I have an hour and fifteen minute drive to work. Might take tops off on way home though and take the scenic drive home.

I drove mine in to work today. It's supposed to be 80 today, so the T tops are coming off. It's especially cool because I just got mine on Monday and today was the first time at work showing it off to the guys. I took it to a glass shop right around the corner from work and the windsheild is getting replaced. I hope I don't get any bad news about rust around the windsheild!

There is only a few nice days left in the season here in NE, I got to drive to Medfield and returned Joe's fender cover. It was a great excuse to drive. He is also doing a rebuild this Winter/Spring, I think we have started a fad.

Got in another drive today...Unfortunately, I am swamped at work so I hav been unable to take spins midday for my lunch break. Stil nice cruising home 5-ish. Wife even suggested we take her out to meet up for friendws for dinner. She said we can even leave the top down the entire time. That is saying a lot for a woman who is always cold!
