Yup, the Black Cat was getting pretty angry with me this past month, she was so itching to get out and flex her paws, and as it was nice last Friday I obliged took her for an hour run.
And I'm taking her out today too.
Only on the highway though.
Too much gravel on the city roads for our liking.

I don't live anywhere that far north, but I'll be glad when spring arrives too.

I don't know how you guys do it up there. I went out for a drive up towards Yosemite yesterday and near 70 degrees. The C5 really likes this type of weather, so do I. Saw a few others out also.

yea winter really blows azz..have not driven my vette since Thanksgiving. The only good thing about the winter is when spring comes and you drive the car for the first time..its like new all over again. This winter has been the worst I can remember since the late 80's around here.

After a decent lunch. I decided to take the long way home. It reached 70 degrees. A little windy at first. A little overcast that turned into a mini down pour. Caught in the rain with the top off. That wasnt fun at all. Raced home to dry off the interior.

really the main reason I dont drive in the winter (other than the snow) is all the salt they pour on the roads.. salt + undercarriage+ wheels =

Hey, suck it up! You're Canadian for gosh sakes. Home of hockey, curling and ice fishing. Quit whining.
Or you could do what I did and come down to Florida for the winter where the weather is awesome.
