What a difference...
...a year makes! Last year this time, we were having an ice storm here in east TN. Today, 65 degrees so I flopped the top and went for a drive. Took some pics too. Hadn't taken any since buying the car last month. Even included one of my ugly mug to show how gooood a 'vette can make any of us mongrels look!

Sonny, I sincerely appreciate and understand your enthusiasm...... nice weather ..... 'new' vette..... good looking guy. Unfortunately, nearing age 80, my vette doesn't enhance my appearance, even with a removable hardtop.

I love that color. It looks great, I like the seats.
I remember being stuck in a ice storm in east TN while on I75 this time last year. That was scary.
Nice work getting it all cleaned up, you can do mine next!

Ha Ha I just read your last part about how it makes us look. I bought my car near knoxville back in June and when I pulled out of the dealership and stopped to get gas, someone comes up and says to me "thats what I need, I'd look good driving a car like that"

Yeah we got hammered last year. And you folks seemed to get an ice storm every week. And you guys get "Black Ice" like we get up here which is the nastiest of Nasty forms of weather I can think of. You never know it's there till it's too late. And once your on it, Ain't a thing you can do but try to hold on. I'm praying for you guys down there, we get it up here too, but not like you folks have gotten in the last few years. God bless and Merry Christmas !

Very nice Vette, love the color. We too are having some nice weather here on Long Island, big difference from last year. So whats all this talk about the car making you look better? I thought all the looks and compliments I get were because of my good looks and magnetic personality, now you tell me it's the car....Dont burst my bubble bro! All the best to you in 2012!
