Hang in there, Spring is right around the corner. Although I can't say that I know how you feel since my baby is a daily driver! Knowing that I'll get to rumble around in my coupe afterwork, gets me through a tough workday.

Cabin fever real bad here bud. I feel your pain. I'd take the Vette out, it's not the cold temps, it's all the freakin' cinders the State has piled onto the roads already. And we've had what, 1/2 inch of snow here. IDIOTS!

Default Frustrated!

Just picked up a ZR1 in Atlanta and drove it back to Milwaukee.
Pulled the car into the garage and now it will sit until spring!
Definetely a frustrating situation. But better than salt or worse
attacking the Z. Hang in there!

Sorry I'm not sharing your pain (I used to live in Michigan ). It's usually in the low 80's all winter long here in Hawaii but we are expecting some rain on friday. On the downside, I can't drive very far without going in circles.

I'm in Jersey, (with a 'vert!) I know, it sucks, I only bought my car in mid- October, so I'm looking forward to a 1st season of warm weather with her! I still take it out, if conditions are nice, although even if its cold, I'll go for a ride on a Saturday or Sunday. I've been told its better to at least drive it somewhat in the winter, better than putting it away for the whole winter, so thats what I'm doing. (Has a full tank and with Sta-Bil in it though..)

I feel your pain. We had 22"of snow here last week, so it hasn't been Corvette weather for me either. It melting now so maybe this weekend if it doesn't rain.


I bought mine in mid October also, so I'm looking forward to the Spring and Summer. Haven't really driven it all that much since I got it.
