Default Winter ride

Nice weekend in New England ( another dominant win by our Patriots!)
And with all the recent rain took the 04 out for a nice ride.
Not exactly convertible weather but what the hey.
C’mon spring!!

That's a great feeling when you can sneak a Corvette out in the middle of a miserable winter. We are in Florida for a good part of the winter, but I don't have a Vette down here. Hope I can drive when we return in February.
Pats over Jax 34-10. They have a good defense, but Blake Bortles doesn't inspire confidence. Minn vs Pats in the Super Bowl.

Awesome...my corvettes my daily driver with snow tires and I've put 117582 miles on as of yesterday...

These cars are built really tough and I wash it and spray wax it weekly come spring I'll hit it with a griots orbital polisher ..

People who see my car think it's so clean looking that I either am lying about using it as a daily driver with snow etc,,,or I've been asked if I've had the car repainted ...neither which is the case...

I wash it at the quarter wash places each week during the winter...and use some eagle one spray wax as you dry...afterward..

I've got it down to 12 minutes flat..

I **** off the outside water to the house from dec 1 to April fools day each year...as I've broken the pipe in the garage walls a couple of times due to the cold,,

Enjoy your corvette as often as you like..

GM builds these cars to burst threw 3 foot tall snow banks..

that you were able to get the car out. There is so much junk on the streets here that a good rain is needed.
