Winter sleep.
Had vette out today, last run for the year, hate putting the vette away but will be getting snow soon and hunting season opens on Friday. It's like a death in the family.

I live 30 miles north of Boston so no stranger to winter. I will keep mine on the road until the sand and salt is dropped. As long as the streets are clean, I will enjoy the vette. One year I made it well into December. Great looking garage BTW...wish I had room in mine for a lift.

Our winters in Northern Illinois have been brutal, but no matter what they are like, once the salt comes out my Vette stays in heated garage. In the meantime, as long as our Indian summer lasts, I may just sneak one more cruise in. The leaves are gone and it's raining every other day. I'm waiting for that remaining sunny day, before the snow and salt. Then I can pamper and wax my Baby and hang in the Mancave.

So much for global warming.....it hit a record 90 degrees yesterday here in Ft. Lauderdale. Running in this is a challenge and not fun but I guess we do get to drive 12 months a year.

Wish it was mine. Belongs to one of my best friends. Garage is under his house with 13 ft. ceiling. At present there is my corvette, a 47 international, 35 ft cabin crusier, a 89 ford super coupe. Still room to run lathe and do maint. work and park 2009 GMC 2500 plow truck. His wife's D.D. is in the two car garage upstairs. I guess that's what friends are for hahaha. No snow here yet but any day it's expected and vette stays put until May.
