Signs of spring are in the air here too. Must have seen about 5 Vettes out today. Sometimes I don't see 5 on a summer day. Too early for me to take mine out though.

Still sand on the side streets and on/off ramps. Probably another month for me. Can't wait though.

4 inches of snow here today.Probably won't be able to get the vette out for another few weeks because of sand on the roads.

I counted eleven on Saturday, mines like yours though, won't be coming out until late April/early May. It was driving me crazy seeing all those 'vettes!

Snowing like crazy here! Think I'll take the RZR out and play for awhile. The vette won't be out in this crap, for sure!
