Hey bud, what's up with your weather? The HIGH tomorrow is going to be 23 degrees? I don't know why you put up with that crap.

I just washed my vert, and am going for a top-down cruise. Kinda warm here today...

I just got done shoveling my driveway we had around 6 inches of snow last night. I think we are up to 13 degrees now.

Take a topless cruise for me when you have the chance as these must be your really good driving months. My car will be in storage for at least another 3 months. I usually start jonesing for it this time of year about half way through winter storage season.

Maybe not, but he deserves it.

In July, when my tires melt on the asphalt, he will have his turn...

Its not all bad. I've done some quite impressive donuts in the snow and ice. The only donut Rimcrew knows about is glazed and goes straight to his belly quicker than he can run down his driveway barefoot in July.

I just got my new vette and now it is cold and icy out. I have only been able to drive her a little bit since I got her. I am jealous of your weather right now, I can't wait for spring.

It may be just a rumor, but I hear that you need ice to break the tires loose. Can't say for sure, but that's what I've heard...

As for me being topless; not to worry - I always wear my bro!

The LT1 accomplishes this no problem, even without the ice.

I think bannage (is that a word?)should be mandatory for any one who posts about driving their Vettes

It got to 35 degrees here in kentucky today, and I got to take my vette out for a drive..It felt good to get to drive it again. I even put a set of muffler eliminators on it before I took it out. Sounds great, not as loud as I thought.. Wife even liked the sound.

It got up to 34 degrees here in the Cincinnati area today. I got to go on a short drive and the Vette didn't disappoint me.

They are saying we will get another 6-12 inches of snow here tomorrow. I am SO tempted to just throw everything I can fit under the rear hatch and head south.
