So---I wait like all of you for the winter to end to take out the Vette with all the new mods and detailing. It has not stopped raining in 15 days. If this keeps up, I'll just have to move! For now, I sit in it, save fuel and mileage.

Wow, that's a lot of straight days of rain. Lots of wasted days that you could have been driving the car had the weather been nice.

I feel your pain. We were going to take a drive in the car to St. Louis tonight. Checked the radar a couple of hours before we were going to leave and sure enough a band of storms were headed our way. Just about ready to cut loose here now. It's like a broken record this spring!!!

I hope we get all of this rain out of our system before Carlisle. There was no rain last year out there. We got lucky on the ride out, the 3 days there and the ride home. It was beautiful the entire time. But, so far this year, I have put less than 150 miles. This weather really stinks.
