Hibernating Vettes
The 02 Coupe is up on the lift and covered as it's two C6 mates are. The morning temp yesterday was -23. This morning it was -24. The Vettes are not allowed out.
The motorcycles are not going out either.

Lots of nice toys there. I feel for you not being able to drive the Vettes for a few months. Ben there, done that.

37 here in Dallas... The streets are dry but my Z wont get traction under wide open throttle if I am under 60mph.. The traction control is pretty useless in the weather also.. Time to start driving the SUV again

It is presently 6ºF here as I type this. The C5 is resting in the garage covered and coneected to the battery maintainer.
Spring (well, mid-April for CNY before the roads are clean) is at least 3 months away... time to take care of other stuff.

Mine has been sleeping since the first part of December. I kicked it's A** out of bed last night. It was a quick shakedown cruise after a brake fluid and power steering fluid flush along with and an exhaust plate install. It's back in bed and under cover in the garage now.
