It was over 70 yesterday in Denver. It's only 65 today, drove the 93 to work today.

It is upper 60's here. I saw my first sighting for the year of a C4 out on the road.

I really took a double take because it was my '88 that I sold in 2008. I haven't seen it since then and it was in a small town of about 800 people. Still looks good!

Yeah, it'll be in the 60s and 70s here through next week. I don't trust spring to be here yet, though. I think I'll take the Vette out for a spin tomorrow.

Going to be 60-65 and dry here all weekend. Fingers crossed. I already washed the C4. I will fix the falling headliner and lower the rear with a kit I just got. Then I will take advantage of the weather and pull the C3 out and finish installing the windshield, playing loud music and drinking some beer. Both my oldest sons will be here ( one just got back from Afghanistan). Good weekend for some wrenching and a cruise.

It's very nice here in PA today also. But, they have salt piled on these roads like you wouldn't believe from last weeks snow. I'm not sure it is worth getting it out in all of that filth today. We need one good hard rain.

I agree. We need some good rain here in Jersey too. Some roads are fine but others have salt.

Yup same here in Staten Island. Much better but still plenty of salt around. Pot holes are also turning up too.

Roads are coated with salt and cinders here in N. WV, but still have to take advantage of the weather.

Roads are dry and salt free in Metro Detroit. Couldn't resist firing it up and running a few errands this morning. On my way to get in 9 holes this afternoon!

I have seen a couple Vettes out already here in NE Ohio (greater Akron area). The weather is perfect BUT, as other folks have said, the roads are still covered with salt. By now it is a fine powder and works its way up into everything. The next moist/humid day will kick it off into metal eating overdrive.

We need a couple days of heavy rain and then back to this weather, then I will take mine out.

I am even hesitant about driving my 2500HD diesel pickup. We put it away for the winter as replacement cost on it is close to a new Corvette.

Made it all the way to 69 here in SE Michigan today! Took the roof panel off for the first time, and put about 100 miles on the '94. Unreal day for February (or March or April, for that matter.

Even more fun to drive than I could have imagined!

I ended up playing golf also. Well, let's just say that things can only get better this year. Of course, who can complain how bad your round is when you are playing golf in mid February in PA.

Weather was beautiful here lately. Finished putting in my Banski Suspension yesterday and took it out to check out the repairs. It was pure extasy to have it out. No snow, no salt on the street, just beautiful weather.
