Default First snow

It snowed here in Suffolk cty LI and along with the snow the first SALT!!! I guess i'm not gonna be drivin my garage queen till the first good rains of springtime. But the good news is i can fire up my space heater and begin winter mods. I'm gonna miss gettin my speed on but i know next spring its gonna be better. On my short list is my exhaust, new C6 shifter and rims. Then its on to fixing the TPS, rockin seat fix and tunnel plate. While i have the seats out i will probably take care of some insulation issues also. I'll try to keep a photographic b4 and after record. But i haver to give props to all the selfless members who post the how tos and helpful hints that allow all of us to do things the easy way. Well, better go organize the tool chest, theres more snow in the forecast and i, got work to do.

I know how you feel about putting the car away for the winter. Just did mine this past week. Good luck with all your winter projects.

That pic reminds me of being a kid growing up in Michigan. When the first snow fell, we couldn't wait to go play in it. Towards the end of winter, we couldn't stand the sight of it.

I can't understand why people put them away in our area. There will be plenty of driving days between now and the spring, I'll take a salty vette over a clean queen anyday.
