First Spring 'break out'
The temps are cool, but the sun is shining brightly; and I just couldn't take it any more.
After 3 days of rain, which seemed to have cleaned the roads of most of the salt, I decided to escape to the Interstate for a 88 mile round trip drive; for a diet cherry pepsi, in Peoria...
Then drove around town to the golf course, not open of course yet. But, had coffee with a couple of the guys I've not seen since last fall.
Finally, went though the car wash for a quick rinse, then back into the garage, until I just can't take it any more, again....
Felt great to drive my C5 again, on the road instead of just in my dreams.
Anyone else with pics to share, of a 'spring breakout' of sorts???

For some reason, the pics are not showing up - says they've been moved or deleted. Anyway, still have my car in hibernation - hope to get it out in 2-3 weeks.

I lost the photos in photobucket, when i tried to rename them. That's why the photos seem to have disappeared from post above. Reposted from original OP. Didn't know how that worked for sure.
Anyway, I love the new wheels and tires look and feel.
