Winter nap!
Well the time has come for some of us who live up north to put our "Corvettes" to sleep for the winter. Today I will be putting the car in storage. The snow has not come yet, but for us who live in northern Minnesota you know it is just a matter of time. Today the roads will be dry so it is a good day to do it. Oh well it will be like getting a new c5 in the spring!

I figure I have about a month left before I have to put mine away for a few months. Hopefully the weather stays good for that long.

Being in Pittsburgh the winters can be snowy and cold. They also can give you some stretches of nice weather. I never put the car down for long naps. I will run it every opportunity I get. This year a strong El Niño is predicted which is good for the northeast, so I hope to run it more often.
