Mine is sitting in the garage with a cover, like yours. I just talked co-worker in Troy, Ohio and he said they were getting a good snow. I just hope your snow blower is not parked behind the Corvette.
Merry Christmas

My 71 coupe is still in its garage bay, with the new paint job applied in 1993, with about 1/4" of dust on it waiting for me to wake up and get street worthy again. I lost interest in 93, I hope i'm starting to get it back.

My 1979 is sitting up on my Kwiklift, covered up to keep the snow/dust off of it, just waiting for the holidays to be over so I can start working on getting the Keisler 5-speed installed. My driveshaft arrived today, so I have all the parts from the kit now in hand. Can't wait to drive it with the new trans.

My '80 is sitting in the garage waiting for me to start my body off restoration. The hardest part is getting the courage to "get at it " . I have always dreamed about doing this but I am a little short on confidence to get started. Brent

My 73 is in the garage with the water pump, alternator, carb, distributor and all emission hoses off and ready for replacement, rebuilding or repainting.

My 86 is now my daily driver until the weather turns bad, and then I will park it in the garage too, and drive my truck.
