Glad you had a good time and the weather cooperated. I'm looking forward to getting mine out real soon - if the weather would just clear up.

Glad you could get out with some nicer weather. It was also nice of you to start grooming some future Vette owners while you were at it

It was a great day on Colorado too!

The Rocky Mountain Corvette Social Club took a little drive, 31 vettes hit the road together!

A couple of us got to open up the superchargers a little, poor guy with the C6 just couldn't keep up!

Can't wait for Spring!

Went for ride on Saturday in Ct. I had put QTP long tubes on in December, just before I put the cover on the the winter.

I think I went up and down every entrance ramp to I 95 between Stamford and Westport...what fun.

Spring is coming...

Default Couldn't get out of the car!

It was really nice in PA yesterday too. Got the vette out, piled the kid in the car and went for a "short" drive. We were on our way home, and getting close to our exit, my son says, "mom you better slow down, this is our exit.' - blew by it! "Oh", he says, "I guess we are taking the next one!" I said, "yeah, ok", blew by it! Mom? are we going home? Dad is gonna wonder where we are." "Eventually we'll get there, I said, I"m not ready to get out of the car yet."

About 3 hours later, we pulled in the garage, my husband said, "nice day for a short drive?" "Perfect day", I said, grinning ear to ear!
