Default The "Perfect" vette day.

Today is a "10" here in the Northeast, blue skys, mid 70s, pollen is gone and no humidity. So I made today "take your vette to the office day". It's amazing what a car can do to your attitude . Already looking forward to the bank trip, it usually takes about 10 minutes but today about an hour, through some great back roads with the top off . Really no point to this thread, just in a good mood . Enjoy your day.

Here in DC/NoVA, it'll be 83 degrees, low humidity, and clear blue skies. A great day to be topless!!!

But I'm stuck here in the office all day.

Let's see 96 today and 90% humidity; windows up, top on, a/c blasting, but still a good day to drive the vette.

It has rained the past 18 of 21 days in central Florida, so my clean car sits in the garage waiting for the sun!! I am concerned about tomorrow though....wanted to drive it to work to celebrate "drive your Corvette to work" day..... Doesn't seem worth it if it rains..... 5 miles in rain = 3 hours of cleaning!!

You know, I thought it'd be a great day to drive the vette to work when I got up. But after I showered and walked out to the car, like a robot, I got in the DD and went to work.

It is a great day her in Northern Va. I think I'll find some reason to get out at lunch. Topless of course!

Enjoy

The day a man (or woman) doesn't look forward to driving their Vette is the day they need to be hospitalized.
