Time for peak performance months. YEPI!

Still warm enough for the top down, but cool enought to give my girl a few more phonies.

Yeah - all you poor Northerners - move to Florida! I second the motion! We have no more room in Arizona!

It's almost getting to the point that I might have to consider putting on a light jacket when I drive with the top down.......

Tino, noticed where some guy named Guieo said he put 3/4" carpet under his tires to keep them from getting flat spots !
Man you guys do have it hard

I vacation in Venice every year and have really close friends that live in the Bird Bay resort.

Tino,
I feel your pain, I put mine away last week. I almost shed a tear . Winter coming, NO $%#$% HOCKEY. I like to say life sucks, but when you own a vette, it's all good.

No offense to you guys in the North (I lived in Ohio for 6 years), but thank GOD for good Southern weather. IT's 75 and sunny in Atlanta today! Not even thinking about storing the car. We'll keep up the waves during the winter months.

Default Insult to injury

In addition to the winter blues, my wife just reminded me that the clocks get rolled back an hour this weekend. So now, we have no vettes to drive, it's dark in the morning and dark at night on the way home. As an added bonus you get to freeze your ... off and no hockey to boot! Oh yeah, I'm feeling real good. The move to florida sounds real good, all I need to do is find a job down there first.
