Default Summer is coming

Just had my first top down drive in the 04 Vert for 2019. The temps were 80+. Went to the store, bank, and a casual ride. Two hours later and wished it was more. Aahh, life is good. Hope all the Winter states people were able to get out and enjoy their C5 rides.

My wife and I would love to ride with the top down, but right now, we are living with a yellow fog in the air. There's so much pollen that we decided that it just wouldn't be a smart thing to do.

75 here on Long Island today but unfortunately the C5 needs a balancer and I don't want to take a chance driving it. So now that the nice weather is here, looks like I have a spring project to work on.

I have to agree on this one. I'm getting ready to hibernate myself.

80 up here about 125 miles north. Did get the car out and ran errands topless. What a gorgeous day...

Was beautiful here since last week. Got my car out on Saturday for a while and was great getting behind the wheel again. With temps on the rise, more seat time is in the futue.
