That's not a bad time frame. Just mark it, save up, and buy them when you can. A few weeks is really not that long.

I'm sorry to laugh but that's funny. At least he's working on YOUR Vette and not the other way around. You have the upper hand. You have the Vette.

yea its not too bad, its rough getting into town bc all out roads are the same sheet of ice..........but the road district is doing all they can (dont get mad at em', i work for them and we work our butts OFF) but once you actually get into town its not too bad all the "traffic" melts the ice and some of the roads are as dry as can be

I got to play in the snow again night before last. The mall parking lot is so much fun with the spacings between the curbs and medians.
