Nice that you could get the car out for a spin. Here - the 9+ inches of snow we just got is going to keep mine in the garage a while longer (as is the 2-3" more we expect to get on Sunday).

We're going to get another inch today so they say.

Just got the FRC and it's killing me!

We are suppose to get some more snow this Sunday too... Just think - I drove the vette just a week ago. I never really "put mine up for winter". I just do not need to drive it in rain or snowy conditions...

Drivers are bad enough around here when the streets are dry..

What is snow??? Is it that white stuff I see on TV?

Of course you guys will get the last laugh around August when it is 115 degrees here.
