Default Beautiful day for a drive

Had a beautiful day for drive today in Central Texas. Took a drive from Austin down to Wimberly and then across the Devil's Backbone to Blanco. Weather was great for top down driving, about 78 degrees and a lite breeze from the South. Stopped and took a couple pics along the way. Found this nifty driveway that had old farm implements displayed from the road up to the house. Actually didn't realize it was a driveway until I pulled in. Thought it would be a good place for pics. Really been itchi'n to get out. It's been pretty cold during the holidays. Spent lots of time indoors and lots of time surf'n the forum while I was in. Thought I would contribute for a change.

It was definitely a lovely day for Corvetteing. I took advantage too with removing the targa. Also spent some time washing and cleaning. No pics for me, but yours look good. Tomorrow should be just as nice I think.

Tomorrow should be great as well. Got the oil and filter to change tomorrow and if time permits will be doing some detailing myself. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 1BAV

We set a record high of 82 up here in Wichita Falls today, but it was a little windy with a south wind gusting to a little over 40mph. Too much wind for me to put the top down. Just 3 days ago we were down to 18 degrees.

1Bav:

You may want to get a new state inspection sticker. I notice yours expired 6 days ago.

Ain't that what the 12 08 sticker is?

What state still requires those? I'd hate to have to sticker up my car with something that big! They could at least customize them.

Junkman:

The 08 sticker you see is for the license plate renewal. In Texas we have 2 stickers in the window.
