Depressed in NorthEast
It seems as if I haven't seen a nice day in quite a while. I really enjoy taking my Z06 out but it's not really much fun in the rain. 
About 3 weeks ago it started raining, it rained for 9 days straight. I was away overseas on business for a week and when I got back, last Friday, things hadn't changed.
It's Sunday and the rain continues to fall. The Corvette's still covered in the garage and it's about 45 degrees outside. I was going to wax it again but I already did that. Maybe I need to change the oil, nope, did that too.
Has anybody noticed anyone named Noah selling tickets or anything? Maybe I should sell the Vette and get a boat.

The first snowfall is when mine starts the hibernation process. They put TONS of sand/salt down and I live on a gravel road.
I feel your pain....if you want to go for a ride, take it...as long as you have a coat of polish or wax you'll be fine. Re-wash it after the ride.
I think I am going to bug out with mine sitting all winter. I LOVE driving it!

I'm with you man. I'm just a few towns over and it's the same here 
I'm hoping to get out for a few miles the middle of the week.

We definitely feel the same way up here in Maine... just crappy weather, I just took an afternoon nap... not much of anything better to do. I just rented a huge garage for my business, the Corvette will find its' way there for a good wash, Zaino, & storage cover. It'll officially see the end of its' year the first week of November... maybe one more good ride day ??... predictably depressing !

Sort of happy that I am moving back to the Southeast (Charleston, South Carolina), where the winters aren't really an issue, but I can truly feel everyone's pain on the rainy issues.

The need for a regular PermaGrin(tm) fix is too great - so we drive ours in the rain!
From Hooters in CT last night - they do not melt in the rain

To make matters worse for me they ground off 3" of asphalt on my road 10 days ago and have yet to re-pave! There have been a couple of days it hasn't rained, but thre is no way I can get out of my driveway. Supposedly they pave tomorrow. Not bad for a two day town job.
