Fighting the urge
Its supposed to be 56 degrees today and sunny and beautiful all weekend. I'm trying to fight the urge to take the cover off the car and take it out of hibernation. 
I usually don't take the cover off until April but this weather is making it hard to resist!
With my luck as soon as I do we will get dumped on with a foot of snow.
Going to be hard to resist but there is still too much road salt and crap on the ground to take her out. I hope I can survive the weekend.

Why fight it??????????
Had the bike out today in the 40's.
Tomorrow will be the C5's turn. Freshly waxed and fresh oil change and yep, I might splash it in a puddle from melting snow! OMG! Then I will have to have a couple beers and wash it before putting it back in the garage. Everyone should have it this "bad". I am grateful to be here where I am these days.
Don't fight the urge. Enjoy the car for what it was intended for.

It got to 58 degrees today. It felt so good after this crappy winter. Unfortunately I spent the afternoon installing security cameras. We have had 8 car break ins this past week. They basically went from house to house checking to see if the cars were open or if they had any thing in them they wanted. If there was and the car wasn't open they smashed out the window. Bastards!

Get it out and enjoy the weather. Cleaning it again really isn't that much of a chore IMO.

the fiberglass might rust from the salt, be careful!
I took the Trans Am out of hibernation last week, we got 5 inches of snow yesterday, and it all melted today. the vette is in a friends garage so it wont be coming out just yet

Well 24 hours later I had to pull it out of the garage and burn up some gas. I have always been a car guy, no trucks no suv, well that is in the past. 2 suvs now and no car so when I get the chance to drive my corvette it is a joy.

I love seeing this post. We're driving around in 18-25 thousand dollar cars. Just this weekend I saw a carrera gt, a 997 gt2 and an Audi r8 cruising around. Not to mention the s4's and s5's. Which are worth about double are cars. Get out and drive them I know that's why I bought mine.
