Was supposed to drop it off tomorrow, but it may be Tuesday depending on the weather.

Lucky you. We just got around 6" of snow today - will still be a little longer before the Vette gets out of the garage.

Had my '99 TR FRC out for a drive for the first time in over a month & it made my day! These C5's are really "special"! p.s. I have a garage & indoor car cover but don't use the cover as I enjoy seeing the vette whenever I'm in the garage.
