Up North!
Just took the "Vet" out of storage yesterday. What a great feeling! Almost like buying the car all over again. Took a drive along the north-shore of Lake Superior.Beutiful day, lots of sunshine. Great to be back for another driving season.

What an amazing statement....
Exactly what I felt like on March 31st when I pulled her out. (Thrilled to my toes).
Thanks I just stole that saying!

Had to be a great feeling getting behind the wheel again. I'm ready to get mine ou but seems like the weather just won't cooperate - been raining a lot.

That is a wonderful drive, for sure. Haven't had the C5 up there yet, but planning on it this summer. Did you stop and get a Betty's pie?

I keep mine under a cover and in the garage. I haven't even SEEN it since October. It's still wrapped up but it's coming out next weekend. It really is like buying it all over again when you don't even look at it for a full 6 months.

Mine was in storage in a different location, so I couldn't even get a peek at it!

Yep, we've had some good hard rains to clean off the road and the weather is FINALLY going to be spring-like starting this week in the Hudson Valley, NY. Time to detail it after it sleeping all winter and put some miles on it.

I retrieved mine last week from the garage in Maine where I stored it, and drove it the 140 mi to my home in MA. After re-connecting the battery it fired right up just like I had been driving it all winter. The only thing I needed to do was re-sync the key fob.
The weather is supposed to be up close to 70 degrees this weekend, so I'll be out trying to avoid the potholes and frost heaves left from this winter.

donates her chrysler 300 to me for rainy day missions. Yes, I
have tried to convert her to GM but she loves the 300, this is
her fourth one. Cant complain, she wont drive the vette and
always offers her 300 for the foul weather runs.
