Default What's Winter, Really?

Great posts and comments!

Think about this Warm Weather boys???


Do you have the thrill, yes I mean thrill, getting your car out and going down the road the first several times in spring?You do know what spring is? Or the last rides of fall, and the fond memories of your trips in the summer?

Vette Season is like the baseball season, I look forward to it, can't wait for it to start and truly enjoy it!! Near the end of the season, I appreciate it even more!!!!!

And then we start again, next year! Great season this year and can't wait till next year!!!!!

Been there, done that - I'll forgo all of that and just suffer driving my favorite car all year. May take it out and celebrate New Years on the Gulf. Sure hope I don't have to put the top on it.

South Carolina has a good climate yr round, we do experience the seasonal changes but nothing drastic. A few days U may not want to drive the vette but there isn't a week goes by that I don't drive my vette.

Here in W.PA. the winters are a pain in the butt, but i try get it out as much as possible as long as the roads are clear of salt and dry. In a good winter 4 or 5 times, in a harsh winter i will be lucky for once or twice.

I thought Obama told us that global warming would eliminate winters. So you winter issues should be resolved.

Never winterized vehicles in Atlanta, but do have to winterize boats and spare not the battery tenders.

Spent the winter in southwest Florida the last 5 years. This winter I plan on taking the vette to use over the very mild, if any, winter. Really looking forward to driving around with the top down.... You're really going to enjoy !!
