Default It's Vette Time in Tennessee

Tomorrow it's suppose to be sunny and lower 50's- so it's time to take the vette out for a spin! We have had a week of flurries and colder than normal temps and the vette has sat lonely and covered in the garage. But tomorrow the cover comes off and we are going for a ride!

Thank God I live in the south!

This morning it was in the 30s so I took the jeep. At noon it was 70, so I went home and brought back the vette with the top down.

Advantages of the south.

I hate you...... Just kidding. It's great you Southern Vette Owners get the full or almost full use of your Vettes. It didn't get out of the teens here today, so I still have another month and 1/2 to put up with the weather before BlackBeauty reappears.

That's the "fun" thing about living in TN. If you don't like the weather............ just wait a day.

Why can't you take it out in the cold, didn't you get the heater option?
