I drove mine last night, it's loads of fun spinning tires at 40 mph!

It was down to 10 last night, cold pavement and cold tires make your car seem a hell of a lot more pwerful.

At the moment I'm too hungover. Doesn't happen too often, but when it does....I'll be out and about later, though. There's a benefit carshow behind the mall.

Wicked cold in New England, too. Salt and gravel all over the roads. Our other cars look like crap, and it's way too cold to wash 'em. Every now and then I take the cover off Baby, just so I can see a car that is clean and shiny. My little sickness, I guess.

Default No more LOW mile vert for me!

I have no reason for not driving my vert here in Calif.

In fact I drove it yesterday. I even parked in in the store lot while shopping! Am I ok? Do I have a fever? No, I am just gonna enjoy the darn thing! I have pampered my last vette's so much that when I go to sell, the next guy says, " Gee thanks for saving it for ME !"


19,400 miles, but not for long!

The people in my Hong Kong office know what a Corvette is, and they seem to have a good deal of respect for it. I've never seen one there, though. :o

No, and even though the roads are dry, here is the reason:

That is 14 degrees F at noon today. This morning it was -16 degrees F!
Will this ever end? Will Spring return to Michigan again? Please?
Thats to cold my dogs would start using the indoor plumbing!!!
