Corvette still sleeping?
Curious, how many Corvette owner still have their car in storage and when do you expect to get her out? Mine is still sleeping and I am thinking it is high time to make an appearance in the hood.

i keep mine in my shop, so never really put er to bed, but since i have only owned it since last summer i kept it insured so i can go for a drive whenever the weather permits. this year so far only a couple/three days or so per month. looking forward to this summer! 
next winter i may do the hibernation routine. (saves money i can use for mods)

Florida here, way to much sun, we need rain real bad. many brush fires so have to keep an eye out for falling ash. But get to drive it every day. Feel bad for you snow states---- not. I lived in up- state ny for years and don't miss the gray skies.

Last year my C4 was still in bed. In hindsight I should have let it sleep for the year as our Summer didn't start til the end of July! This year I couldn't bear to leave my new C5 parked. We've had some decent days so it's been insured since the end of February.

Well this weekend looks like a washout too, so sleep soundly for another week at least! Then look forward to the pot hole infested roads with 6 inches of gravel in the gutter! Thank goodness for this forum at least I can imagine you guys having fun.

Mine is taking a break today because of rain, but typically mine is only put up from Dec through January and maybe into february, depending on the winter. But anytime the roads and weather permits I get it out for some exercise. This year I had it put up maybe a month or so.

I'm glad to here that most of your Vette's will be waking up.
It's ironic that some of the nicest locations have colder weather.
In SoCal we have great weather 95% of the time but have to deal with a myriad of BS and regulations.
