That's great, but my baby hit the snooze alarm when it snowed last Saturday and is still sleeping under the cover in the garage. I keep nudging her. Maybe.......

Just waiting for the rain to wash the salt off the road here, plus new chrome zo6 wheels coming early next week. With any luck will be back on the road next weekend. Can't wait!!!!! haven't been out since New Years day when it was 65 degrees.

I'm still waiting. I bought this one about 3 weeks before it went to sleep for the winter. That was at Thanksgiving, too. I am SOOOOO anxious to get it back out.
