Default Out of storage!

The weather finally cooperated and she's back on the road! Ran great today and I am just about to take her out for an evening spin.

When I first backed her out of the garage, I had a little unpleasant surprise when there was about 2 oz of transmission fluid on the floor. After some checking it appeared it came from the tranny vent and I am hoping I just over filled it last fall - the level looks good.

Anyhow, now that I see the car again - all the little things that need doing have begun their annual pull on my attention. It's like having another wife!

:lol:

Greetings and Ditto. we're about 30 minutes from each other so I know what you mean. Was a beautiful day and a long time coming.

I went out at 6am and washed and waxed both of em'. I then cleaned the entire garage, under the deck, and shed and still had time for a cruise to the mountains int eh afternoon. Was a good day: :cheers:

Its a great feeling isn't it?
I just pulled mine out last night. I went for a short ride around the block, and gave it a bath.

John, I'm glad to see you're out and about with your vette. I'm trying to figure out between Joe and I who will have their car off the jackstands and on the road first. SeeYa, Rod :cheers:

See, I kind of cheated... I may be on the road first, but later this week when I order my rear spring...

It sure is hot out today. :cheers:

That's not funny ;) . Actually it was 80F today; bizarre for this neck of the woods. The pic is from just three weeks ago. That is why Corvettes are stored.
