It's time
I can't wait any more, both Vette's come out of hibernation this weekend. 
My C6 Z06 will be easy as its been inside the garage all winter. A minor clean up/wipe down, check all the fluids, check the air pressure in the tires, hook up the battery, perform the prelube procedure and fire her up.
The C5 will be a little more involved as there is a battery replacement needed in addition to the other pre start stuff. I'll get to see how she made out under her little cocoon I put her in for the winter. Hopefully just a wipe down will be the only thing needed. I did a full clean/clay bar/wax before covering so I think I should be good. Unless of course the covers leaked at which point I will be pissed.
Either way it will be sunny and 64 degrees this weekend, I can't wait!!!

Fired mine up for the first time yesterday. After 5 months of sleeping, she cranked in less than 2 seconds. After about an hour ride, I dropped her off at the shop to get some engine work done (H/C/I/TB/etc.). Hope to have her on the road again by the end of the month!
