Bonus Vette Weekend!!!
I'm here in Chicago and I "Kind of" put mine to bed last weekend. My wife had all kinds of work for me to this weekend. You know get ready for winter things on the outside of the house. Well Friday nite I'm watching the news and I sat there and saw Sat 68 and sunny!! 
Now I have to break it to the little lady there wont be any work this weekend. I'm looking around the house for her coming up with my REASONS why we cant work outside and why we have to take the Vette out one last time and I find her in the garage checking the oil in the vette "I'm just makeing sure shes ready in the morning just in case its a good day". She then goes on about how this is going to be the last weekend to drive the car and all that good stuff that I was going to pour on her. So, I let her finish and said "Well, your right lets get her ready, but were going to have to due all that work next weekend". It was like a gift from Mother Nature. And we really enjoyed ourselves. Bonus Vette days are the best!!!! I have to re-clean/get her ready again, but it was well worth it. Sunday was'nt to bad either 60 and sunny.

What a weekend! Took a great ride on Sunday in Northern NJ. Top down!
On a sadder note, I think that's about it. I plan to wrap her up this weekend. Oil change on Saturday, got my battery tender, Sta-bil, etc.

Same here in Wisconsin, drove all weekend and have it at work today. I usually put it away for good after Thankgiving day weekend. She just loves to run in cold temps. 
So we drive till the snow flies or pretty close to it.

Lucky you. Your wife must have been reading your mind and figured it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to change it.
