I really feel sorry for you as I prepare to store my vettes for a real winter. I suppose you're roughing it by not driving with the top down or off. I do envy you during the winter though as my cars sit in the garage in hibernation.

Just rub it in. It was 30.2 F here this morning and there was a little snowflake on the overnight forecast for tonight. I hate New England

I have owned corvettes since 1989 and you can count the non-corvette driving days on one had since then in this part of Georgia. Sunshine is usually the order of the day, at least part of the day.
