Getting car out today

Temperature is 69 and going to get into 70's today in Kansas City area. Sun is out. I have changed oil and filter, checked auto fluid and rear differential levels. I am ready to go! Bought my car, 2002 yellow convertible on April 7,2012. Have put a total of 8,200 miles on it. Have made 3 road trips to Mid America Funfest , which is 720 miles round trip. Planning on going to Bowling Green in it in June. Have been there before in a different corvette. Hope you all have a good day.

Man, no such luck here. Highs in the 30s and salt powder all over the roads.

Probably another month to go...

Temps in the 30's, salt over the roads and potholes galore. Looks like April will be the soonest. Bummer...

It's in the 50's today here in Iowa but still too much sand/salt on the roads for my C5s. Going to drop down to 40 tomorrow and chance of the white stuff on Monday

Lucky. This is the longest I've ever been without driving my car. 17 days and counting.

Cant wait for my vettenuts bezel to come in. Then I'll be back cruising!

Screw that, it was 40 degrees here in the Windy City

...and I took my Z for a ride. If there's a little salt residue then that's what a water hose is for!

About the same temp here today since I am about 100 miles from you. Wish I could have gotten mine out too, but too many other things took up the day. Unfortunately it is supposed to rain tomorrow.
