No snow, no salt on the roads in Chicago, so the C5 gets a little more road time before hibernation! Not too often it's 45 degrees and sunny on December 25th. Merry Christmas!

Glad you were able to get the car out today. Nice weather here today too, but the car stayed in - had company most of the day.

We had a very nice day yesterday not so much today. Rode with top down for about 3 hours yesterday wearing my santa hat and beard. Doesn't take much to amuse me.

I'm not sure where you live, but they've put down a bunch of salt in the northwest suburbs. There's still a couple of small piles at intersections in our neighborhood, and I was just noticing this morning how much salt I have on my daily driver.

even up here its been nice! this weekend is supposed to be sunny and low 40's!

my car has been on winter break since late october lol.
The one time i have a nice car thats driveable and no issues is the time i put it away early and there has been 2 extra months of nice weather.

oh well....the parts that are stockpiling up for spring make up for it!

Yep, it's supposed to be 45 and clear News Year's Eve too, so you can bet I'm planning on getting my car out for a New Year's Eve cruise!
