Nice Rear Look
A couple of years ago I bought vinyl (or some kind of soft flexible whatever) letters for the rear end of my 2004 vert. They fit perfectly into the recessed body letters and almost glow. No glue, self-adhesive. Got more than a few compliments on them!
Yeah, that's snow outside the garage. I go in there once or twice a month to check on critters and also run the engine for 10-15 minutes. Can't wait to get it out but that will be next month, if we don't get more snow.

Ha ha! Yea, on average for the winter with 10'. Normal is 6-12', primarily from Lake Effect snow from Lake Ontario. Just north of here one town has had over 35'. A lot of people come from out of state to do snowmobiling and skiing.
Cheers,

Nice '04 and great color!
Just a suggestion, may want to do some further research to decide for yourself, but most people now agree that running the car for 10-15 minutes is more detrimental to the vehicle than just letting it sit until you are ready to drive. Driving a distance properly warms up all the fluids and burns off condensation. Just starting and idling a vehicle, even up to temperature does not.

BTW, the color is 24 Hours at LeMans Blue. No lie, I've had people at traffic lights yelling "hey man, love that color" and a lot of people that see it for the first time. It's got ~ 46k miles and the interior is near mint. I had a Pioneer radio installed a few years ago and am still learning how to operate it! LOL
I want to upgrade to a C-6, maybe an 07 or so but the wife will kill me if I mention it again. LOL Maybe I'll sell a bunch of my crypto coins!
Thanks for the suggestions.

The rear letters look great on your LMB car.

l Like it. Mine is Nassau Blue, and have been thinking about putting red letters on mine. Hmmm, may have to get some and see if I like them on mine.

Looks good, don't worry Summer is around the corner, used to live in Mount Holly NJ, and winters were cold, and wet.
Thank You for your service, and welcome home.

Whenever I start the engine, I am ready to move the car as soon as the info center says"brake before shifting".
That usually takes about 15 seconds.
That tells me the vehicle is ready to be moved.

I was at McGuire from 70-75, flew on the ANG C-121s and the AFR C-141A models. Live in Country Lakes.
Thanks for yours, too.
Bob
PS: How did you sneak your Vette under the C-17? Really cool!
