@#@#$ winter
What the heck is going on in the northeast???? I want to get the old 88 on the road for the first time in months, but still it continues. More snow possible this weekend supposedly..I also have two door panels, carpet, and weather strip to replace, with the parts sitting in the cellar waiting for a little warmth. Sorry, just a rant!!!

I hear that.
I just returned to the US and am very eager to get the Vette on the road again.
If weather holds as predicted I'll get the chance at Raceway Park this Sat.
Hang on spring will come.

Up here on the NH border, we got 16" or so on Saturday. Rhode Island got off easy. You'll be doin' burnouts while I'm still making snow angels 
. Meanwhile, the guys on the Great Lakes probably can't see out their first floor windows yet .

I lived in AZ for 12 years and you are correct. There are no parts on a car that ever need to be steamcleaned. The only thing you need to be concerned with is any rubber under the hood. Because of the extreme desert heat in many parts of AZ, rubber rapidly deteriorates. Oil should be changed frequently due to the extreme dust. The good thing about AZ is nothing ever rusts. But on Corvettes, there's not much metal to rust.
But now, I'm in FL and I can happily drive my car 12 months a year. I feel for you guys that cannot or choose not to drive your cars due to inclement weather. I also lived in NY for 10 years and I know what snow and salt can do to a car. It's not a pretty picture.

i know how you feel. my vette has been down for the last 9 of 12 months, right now the body is staring at 4 corners of my mechanic's shop, while the engine is apart at the machine shop.
looks like another 2 months down...........missed last summer, hopefully this summer i'll actually have a corvette.
