I think part of the vette sales package should include a trip to Daytona Beach (in the winter) so all of us could get together and have some brews !!!

I've gotten to the point in my life where I realize that every day is a gift. When I start getting down because of the weather (or anything else for that matter) I think about my friends who are no longer here. I know they'd give anything just to see snow, cold, salt on the roads, etc., etc. That put things back in perspective for me. Warmer weather will be here soon.

Flatbed it!!

I think for the most part we are just having a bit of fun in this thread,we live where we live and mostly that is the way it is !!!!! I have golfed and been a car guy all my life. Michigan summers are awesome,if you can't find something to do that's on you!! (winter also for that matter) When Spring comes it's like a new life starting fresh. You can't wait to get the clubs out and the vette. I think if I could golf all year I would not have so much enthusiasm to play golf and with the vette. Also would not do as much work to the car because then I couldn't drive it,so the winter is the best at doing all the things you what to do to the car !!!!!!

Amen to that! We all should think everyday is a gift cause it really is.. There could be no tomorrow so you gotta live each day like it's a gift from the man up stairs. Thank you Jesus

Not a lot of snow on the ground here, But the salt is terrible. This city is the worst at managing the roads. When you need the salt in a heavy snow, not to be found. Got a dusting last night and they dump a ton. Warming weather this week end but will need 2 inches of rain to clean the roads.

I don't understand what the problem is.

Too bad my Z06 is in the shop getting the wide body rear fenders painted right now. Hope to have it by the weekend.

Honestly, I don't see how you guys deal with such long down times. I'd go crazy.
