Default Took the 68' to work today..

.. after not driving her for over 2 weeks...
Well - it was raining a lot and I don't drive her in rain... That's why it took me so long to drive her again...

I drove my Vette for the first time since two sundays ago yesterday :smash:

June Gloom and fog kinda dampened my tee top spirits!

I am the same way. Mine may not look like much but I just don't drive it if the weather isn't just to my liking.

Did she remember who you were ?
I'm sure a nice wash and wax will make everything better between you two.

The 68' was still clean from 2 weeks ago.. when I drove her the last time...
She knew immediately who the boss was when I spun the tires through the gears when getting on the Interstate :D :D
It's also the 1 year anniversary of my 383/465 HP Stroker engine from AR Racing.. 8000 miles and 40+ Drag Strip passes and the engine still runs like new!!!

Good to see you're keeping her dry.

Well - at least our rainy season only lasts for a few months.. July and August aren't all that bad.. It's just June and September that are usually pretty wet...
