Being from the Twin Cities, I figure we have a little time with our cars than you folks in Duluth. I hope to make it into December like 2 years ago. When the salt goes down, the car goes in. We were fortunate to make it to the North Shore this year. Canal Park was hopping and the food at Grandma's was great as always. Tomorrow is suppose to be very nice so a day trip to Stillwater is planned. From here on in is it day to day.

But like you said, every spring is like getting a new C5 all over again.

76 here today in the midwest. I had about a 4 hour top down spin and tried out my new seats which I found so much more comfortable than the stock sport seats.

Low to mid 70's for two more days this week. What a great indian summer.
