Took Her For A Drive Today
Today here in NE Illinois is 35 degrees, sunny, and the roads (even in our subdivision) are clear. So off came the cover and out we went for a 20-minute drive. Got all the fluids circulating and ran the heater. I got some looks, including 
from two kids out playing in their yard.
We're due for slightly warmer temps tomorrow, so I may take her out again. Then we get colder in a hurry, with highs on Monday and Tuesday only in single digits. However, no (or minimal) snow for the next several days.
Go Bears, beat those Packers.
Finally, Happy New Year to my forum friends.

It's always good when you can get the car out in winter and go for a cruise. Have a great time tomorrow too.

You are braver then me. Here in Lake County the had the salt trucks out all morning. Roads where a mess. Used the truck to run errands. Would love to get the vette out again. Hopefully tomorrow.

My Vette goes out tomorrow for the first time since ice storm here over a week before Christmas. Never melted before we left town for the Holiday in Little Rock. Had to cut the downed trees away from the garage and driveway today. Three giant piles of limbs by the curb. Mustangs beware, the Silverbullet00 is cruising Saturday!

Me too
Lots of folks think the winter weather in SW Colorado is nothing but snow....and they couldn't be further from the truth. Nothing but clear blue skies and sunny 40"s and 50's as of late.......and yes I was out for a drive.

I did take her out today (Saturday) to the gym. Temperature about 42, sunny and roads pretty clear. I cleaned the lower portion and back end with water and some detail spray when I got home. She's now back under cover with the battery tender hooked up.
