Default Started the Vette today!!!

My Vette has been in storage since October. There was a little bit of snow falling today and temp in the mid 30's.......decided to go visit my beauty. I traveled about 2 miles to the storage garage....uncovered my Torch Red beast....hooked up the battery......4 pumps on the pedal, a turn of the key.....and vroom......she started right up!!!!
Spring MUST get here soon!!!
Just had to share my little bit of glory with you........You folks out of the snowbelt don't know how good you have it. :)
I long for the smell of wax....getting grease under my fingernails........using my California duster......well, you get the idea.
Thanks for letting me share my wonderful adventure with you.
Rick.....
drivin' the Intrepid.....for NOW!!! :cool:
