After snow and sub zero temps we had a good cleansing rain with 40's today. Time to break out the C5 and go for a ride. Hope some others get out too.

The weather finally got up into the upper 30's here too, but with all the snow we have had, the roads are very wet and a lot of salt has been tossed on the roads. We need a good rain to clean all that stuff off. Until then, the car will stay in the garage.

I went through withdrawals not being able to drive the first few weeks. I couldn't get it out for just one ride. Still happily tucked away.

Pulled the car out today drove it about 20 miles on the interstate. just enough to heat it up. This car after sitting for almost 2 months started right up, I have no tender on it. We had over a half inch of rain yesterday with some heavy done pours that cleaned the roads. I guess it could have sat awhile longer with out starting. The battery is almost a year old. Great felling to get in and drive it and it loves the cold air.
