better than nuthin'
So today was nice and sunny. The high was... well there was no high. It was cold. Damn cold - but sunny.
So I decided to go out into the garage and play with the Corvette. I started her up and let her run for awhile. The thought of taking her out did cross my mind, but with my luck something would happen because I only have storage insurance right now. So I sat in the car and made vroom-vromm noises. This is as far as we got:
I seriously need to get some heat in that garage. Did I mention it was cold????

Temps dropped from close to 60 yesterday to just 30 today but I had to take her out for a little test & tine romp on the GSP in upper NJ late this afternoon.
Due to local crappy weather I hadn't driven the Vette in close to a week so it really was good to feel that power again.

It's cold here too...high? what high, was a whole 31° yesterday, today it's supposed to be 29°, but it is January, that's to be expected. Still cold.
Two months from now things will be a little different.

A buddy of mine and his friend were bleeding breaks and had all the doors open and still got really sick and had to go to the hospital. Ever since then I have been spreading the word. I am not trying to preach or come off wrong I just want everyone to be safe especially my corvette guys.
