Bet it great to have it back. But it sucks to have to store it... That is one nice thing about Florida. Vette driving all year round.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

I had gone thru some serious surgery this past January and have been recouping for these last few months with the Vette of course, always in the back of my mind. This past Wednesday, we got home from a 3 week visit with relatives in Charlotte NC.. It was hi time that I got the Vette uncovered, out and running. I had ordered a few EZ mods which arrived the day after I got home---well for someone in their 60's, once that Vette came out and I got to working on it/driving it---I felt like was 25, well maybe 35 again What a fun car
