Long Winter
Have the 04 under its car cover, snow on the ground for another 4 weeks, cold as all get out, can't wait till spring. I like to shoot the the ground hog whatever his name is, Pete something.
Only thing I have to look forward is changing over to Silicone hose and cleaning the Vette prior to going on the road.

Man I hear ya. I made the terrible mistake (for sanity, not $$$) of buying my car at the end of October. I drove it for a few weeks, and it's been in the garage covered ever since. I've got a stack of stuff to put on it (suspension, headers), but it's even been too cold to do that!
I can't wait until spring.

We've had 110" of snow this year, most of it in the last 3-4 weeks. Right now I can't imagine when it will be gone, just hoping the roof doesn't collapse.
By the way that white in the background of my avatar is snow last April when I bought the car, and that was a light winter.

Even here in central NC, the temps are in single digits this morning. I know for you folks up north, 9F is no biggie, but for us, this is really cold. I feel for the folks in the many trailer parks around here, must be hard keeping them warm.

Minus 20 here last night---that's before the wind chill. Poor Z06 sitting under a cover, stopped the brake scoop project as the plastic is too brittle (not to mention the old bones). This is getting tedious!!

It gets warm enough here in kansas City to take the vette out for a cruise but the streets are all covered with salt.
I know this because I park my jeep inside and have to sweep it up every few days.
So ... I am screwed either way.
