Winter Fun
With the weather predicted to be between 65 – 70 degrees in the Mid Atlantic tomorrow, how many members are planning to take out their Vettes for a ride?
I will be getting up at o dark thirty tomorrow, to take down the outside Christmas lights and decorations on my house. I will proceed to wash and dry the Vette around noon. I will then enjoy the afternoon with a cruise to wherever the road takes me.

man I screwed up this year. I took the car off the road around Thanksgiving time in anticipation of winter coming. I am installing a complete '91 interior this winter which is easiest to accomplish if you swap out the dash and engine harnesses at the same time. Since the '91 swap means a swap to Speed Density when a forum member here needed a MAF I sold him mine. Now it's going to be 58 degrees in Vermont tomorrow and I can't drive my damn car because I don't have a MAF 
Oh well it will be ready for Spring...
ENJOY the ride tomorrow!!

I will be taking mine out tomorrow, but then, I'm in Arizona, where it is also supposed to be about 70*. Need to burn some of those carbon deposits out. Might even put on a hat and put the top down.

I have a lifted '93 Chevy stepside pickup with 35" tires and fresh black paint. It's about as heavily modded as my Vette. It's not the same as the Vette but it is a great ride.
Have FUN tomorrow!

I think what has helped situation with the snow this winter, is 6 guys at work bought snow blowers collectively to get a group discount. I thanked them yesterday for the mild weather. VinceC4, I follow the same rules of engagement as you when it comes to winter Vette driving. January 6, 2007, 8 AM, 64 degrees, got to love it.

Since I just got my daily driver back, I'll be driving everyday like I used to unless there is more than 3" of snow.
I never have to take mine out since it is always out.

Yeah. I'll be driving the Vette this weekend, maybe even take the top off.
I have never been one to put the Vette away for the Winter. I drive it mostly on the weekends as long as there is no snow on the ground or it is not raining. Besides my inspection month is January so I have to drive it at least once every two years to get it inspected.
The weather here has been great so far this Winter so I am taking advantage of it and driving the Vette every weekend!

82° expected here in mid Florida. Should only be in the 60's. Hope it says this way for a couple of weeks as a show in Kissimmee and a Florida Corvette get-together at the Don Garlit's Museum of Racing is planned for upcoming weeks.

VtVette, several blips of the throttle under bridges sounded real good with the top off today.
Ogres84 I will pass the thanks on to them on Monday.
Hang in there firstvette2 & RRT vette, things will be looking up shortly.
The weather was great, the cruising was fun, and now the beer is cold. What a fantastic day.
Life is short, have fun!
