I wanted to get out and do some open-air cruising. Then I looked out my garage door. Crap.

Unfortunately, it's too dirty to just wax right now. Fortunately, it's because I drove it a bunch this week

Needs a quick wash before I can do any polishing.

No rain here, just cold and sunny. Had the Vette out for a 10 mile jaunt to the grocery store earlier today. Back it out of the garage, wash it, then pull back in and detail.

Not raining down here in Branson, Mo. Partly cloudy about 75 degrees a little windy, but nice. Had mine out running around. Sorry about your weather.

Talked to my son in Lenexa this morning when it was raining. Rain in SoCal today too.

I'll give you a holler on my next C5 road trip to KC next year.
