What a nice winter, so far!

Can't complain when you get to drive the Corvette to work in mid December in central Indiana. This time last year the toys had been put away for a month. With mild temps and no salt on the roads, there's been more time to enjoy. To make it even better, the wife and I were able to get the bikes out and ride two days this past weekend.

It has been very mild here too. I'm sure we will eventually have our share of bad weather, but for now, I'm just enjoying it.

Yep. Mild and no snow here in Montreal. I don't recall ever witnessing this in the past. Too bad my Vette is stored away and has been since the end of October. Damn!!

mine isn't on blocks though, I'm curious? Why blocks? Only about 70 days for the insurance to kick back in. Guess I should ask my insurance agent, I wonder how much more for the extra 90 days a year? Anybody know?

Just like OP, my car had been put up for a month at this time last year. Took it out for a long drive today. No complaints here.

Still driving in central Ohio too.

Cold is fine with me, just refuse to drive anywhere after the salt has been put down.

So far so good, but I know it won't last much longer.

Weather has been great in NY - this is the latest that I've had any of my vettes out. Gotta love the salt-free roads. Name: vertwave.gif
