I take one look at it and then I calmly go back to sorting my tools. The next time I turn around, there it is, still looking at me.

Been out in the garage too sorting my tools to. Lift the cover off and wipe her down and cover her back up. Snow sucks!

Ok, I know you all are gonna hate me for this, but, I'll tell it any way. Went outside today, in shorts, washed my car, with no shirt on. Got her lookin real good, popped the top off and went for a ride!! Someone had a thread a week or so ago asking why there are so many vettes in FL? Today was why. Don't worry, winter will be over soon enough and you'll be back on the road, while all of us down here in Fl are about to burst into flames.

No hate here.....I did the same thing yesterday. It's clear, 2-3 mph breeze, and about 65 degrees right now. However, in another three months......

The 'Vette will be sleeping indoors, under a cover, while the dirt and grit blow at 50 MPH. Springtime in the desert sucks....

I do feel sorry for all the Northern folks buried under the snow....driving year round is fun....

All I've been doing is sorting tools. You guys have probably noticed with all of my tool-related posts. In fact, all I can do is sort tools, because I'm trying to beef up the "Corvette account" before buying some things.
As for the voice, it's neither male nor female. It's kinda like that devil that sits on your shoulder and eggs you on right before do a nice burnout at a stop sign.
