Winter's almost over!
Up here in Michigan we hit 50* over the weekend! Melted a lot of our snow and was a great time to add another coat of Zaino and back the car out and listen to the rumble! Snapped some pics while it was out there of course! Who else here has intense cabin fever and can't wait for the roads to clear up and drive their C5?

Nice ride. Her ride height looks NASTY! Here in southern Iowa the snow is all gone. However with no washing rain the sand and salt are still thick. With a good rain and decent temps I can't wait to get out the FRC.

Took mine down the Jersey Shore this weekend and didn't expect there to be snow....well it melted with the warm weekend and.....oh did I say y house is on dirt and sand roads! Well I took it to a "car wash" when I got home and it is looking good again. I don't think it was ever that dirty ! But was fun to use!

Yes, one 50 degree day, hurray !
The full extent of my "motoring" since about early December has been as follows :
Pull car out of garage, dust it off, take two insurance photos (changed companies), and put it back in the garage
Cant wait for spring.
(Hell, Id even take winter if it would rain enough to clean all the salt and dust off the roads
)

Nice car. We got an unusual 8" at one time last weekend and it's melting off now. Nothing like what you get though.
You can tell that the winter months of breathing only indoor air has gotten to some people...

Roads are clearing up here on Cape Cod after a miserable winter. Actually got all the Vettes out two days ago. Felt like I was reborn 
Looks like you have some melting to do up your way. Won't be long

I can't wait until spring hits...
Today was the warmest day in weeks. It hit 22°! Still a lot of snow and ice around. I'm hoping that by the first week of April I can finally drive the Z again.
Of course, something always happens every year to rain on my parade! Last year, on April 28 (almost May, mind you) we got 28" of snow in 8 hours... notice how the snow is about up to the top of my truck tire! The ground is all flat under there...
