Must Be Spring
Saw my first vette of the season today, a C black, nice, except for all the salt on the sides. Getting close though

I've seen a few Vettes out (they were filthy), but it certainly is not anywhere close to spring around here.

Not sure what you have been drinking, but we are expecting more snow on Saturday (today) and then again on Tuesday.
I think you'll be shoveling a lot of the white stuff for a few more months.
Wishful thinking.

Here on LI I'm looking out at about 18" of snow and it's a freggin mess, but at least the Vette is nice and clean in the garage. What happend to global warming anyway, I'm freezing my a$$ off and shoveling snow is getting real old real quick, and since I'm spending more time indoors my wife keeps coming up with projects for me to do and usually involves painting, I HATE PAINTING! Anyway, enjoy the rest of your winter folks, this too shall pass.

Our temp. might get up to 50 today. There is still snow on the ground and ice on some of the less traveled streets. The days are getting longer and Spring is closer every day.
I saw 2 C6 one clean and one looked like it had been driven in the snow all week.

Florida
The only state that has not seen any snow. Yes it's winter but lows in the morning are generally 45+ degrees and 65-70 highs are more the standard.
Left on Friday to arrive in Maine to a fresh 12+ inches on top of the 16" we had earlier.
Maine car will not come out before late April or early May.
Will be back in Florida late January and looking forward to my first ride in my 2003Z. Have owned it since the first of June 2010 and been modding it ever since. Starting to look like my dream car.
