So Close......

Took the cover off the Vette this past really nice weekend, put the dash back together, halfway de-winterized it... Took it for a quick spin around the block which was SO amazing....But something told me, 1 more week...

Now its snowing... theres salt everywhere...

the wait continues... UGH!

It's getting closer!
Out of curiosity, what does half way de-winterized, or all the way de-winterized consist of?

Our snow is almost gone, but the cinders and the chemicals are still all over the roads. Looks like rain will be here soon to wash it all away, then its time to go riding again.

I want to change the oil which I didnt get the chance to do. as well I overinflated the tires to keep them from flatspotting and didnt lower the pressure either. didnt put my lloyds mats back in or my satelite radio. Plus its pretty dusty and nasty from being under the cover all winter. Just petty things, but how I would like it to be on the road...

Our snow is almost gone so I couldn't help myself and took her out the other night. The roads still suck but man did it feel good to run her. Spring is right around the corner!! Hoping for some rain soon to wash down the roads.
