Default First Day Out

After 5 cool months in Edmonton Canada, back home for a weeks visit to Missouri and see my "other woman"
After the oil change, new battery and a bath, took her out for the first drive today, gosh how I have missed our times together .....

T'was a wonderful day in Missouri to enjoy the vette. Beautiful pics of your "model". I don't believe they take a bad picture! It must be torture not being able to drive it for several months!

Why are you in Edmonton? Glad to hear you got back south to take your Vette our for a run! For us this has been a pretty good spring, I had the car out about a month earlier than I though I would. Hope you enjoy!

Was transfered to Edmonton for work, and really love the city.
Has been a great Spring. Jasper and the Rockies are out of this world
