Finally
For the first time since November I finally got to drive the Vette. 40* and sunshine today, snow is gone, and had a hard rain the other day that took the cinders and salt off the highway. Went for a nice 20 mile cruise...how sweet it is. The new shocks work well and the new Michelin runflats are smooth and quiet. I'm in heaven!!

It is certainly good to here a snowbird finally get to play with the toy. It must be painful to only be able to look at it for 4 or 5 months...
Hope you're blessed with more great weather.....

Nice to get back in the seat again I'm sure. Mine comes out of the garage very soon.

There ya go! I'm sure it's just a sweet experience as your winter dreams described it to be. I almost think us "snowbirds" or folks other than the sunbelt owners are blessed with falling in love with our cars every year instead of never being without them and the Vette becoming an every day experience. That "absence makes the heart grow fonder" thing. NOTE; It also keeps the mileage low.
Yeah, right! Who am I kiddin'?
