Default Quick ride!

Only about 5 miles total, but got the vette out today for the first time since before Christmas. Still feels good. Just like therapy. :D

I'm planning to drive it to 'The Atlantic City Classic Car Event', this weekend.
About 200 miles roundtrip.
Looks like the weather will cooperate.
{I don't take the vette out in bad weather.}

Was that long enough to get the oil temp up?? If your car's been sitting all winter, then you'll want the first drive to be a little long :yesnod: You need to burn off any water in the oil and get fluids circulated. Also it's good to run the A/C and keep all those parts lubed :yesnod:

Glad you got to drive around :thumbs:
