Default Spirited Ride Before Hibernation!

As you stout midwesterners all know, this time of year gets cold up in the northern part of Illinois. It's been unseasonably mild the past few weeks so I've delayed putting the Vette away. Sunday I went for a spirited drive...often breaking triple digits on lightly traveled roads. It ended all too soon for it was time to say goodnight for the winter. (sniff-sniff) :sad: :sad: :sad:
Man, I wish I lived south so I could do this every weekend... :yesnod:
Any other northern guys still cruising this time of year???
