Default Hibernating Vette !

Hi.
This is my 68 big block convertible presently hibernating.
Outside temp about 0 C ( 32 F ) and snowing. :mad
Doesn't this make you southern guys jalous ?
Happy new year. Günther

Currently, NO. However you can bet that I'll be wildly jealous in the spring time when you're motoring around the hills in Belgium and Germany with the top down and the big block power pushing you from one corner to the next.

drive my vette in the winter as long as there no ice, rain, or snow .. even better when I can come home to a nice warmed garage .. and throw covers over it .. well I don't have a cover but my garage is climate controlled , and air vac'd .. warm in winters now .. the vette always starts up indoors right away .. when the snow comes then i'll hibernate .. ny state at buffalo has a foot of snow , nyc does not yet .. that means more driving time this weekend in NYC.. hehe ..

:cool:
