Take her out for a spin? It won't melt or freeze for that matter. Although......I must admit....
My goal is to live long enough to drive south in January and drive back in May!

Yea, this sucks!! I would drive it in the cold, but there is about 3 inches of salt on every road!!

I'll trade these sub-zero crap azz temps that last weeks on end any day for any bugs,critters,snakes and heat/humidity that FLA has.

There is still a trace of snow on the ground in front of my house, and I was only able to drive my Corvette once in the month of November, so I feel your pain!

That being said, I'm bound and determined to take my car out later this week as we are supposed to have a couple of sunny days. Fingers crossed!

Sorry to rub it in but I live in Tampa and I've got 2 things on you right now.

1. Can drive my Vette
2. Can jump in the solar heated pool after working on the Vette

There is a very good reason for living in the south. Corvette life is not seasonal. Sorry for the pain. It is just the truth. I used to live in Connecicut.

We're still a very proud organization with a tremendous history including the greatest coach of all time, the best QB ever & only undefeated team in major pro sports. We're going through some rough times right now but hopefully we will get it turned around. In Saban we trust.

Yeah, I hear you. My Father in law (lives in Fla) follows Parcells wherever he goes. I live in NJ also, but follow Tampa Bay. We don't feel like playing football this year!

Are you serious? At least one Fla member was honest enough the other day to say his time is severely limited between June and September.
