Default COOL C-5 Coupe

Well the "BIG ICE STORM" on the south side of Charlotte NC was a big bust today. Cloudy, foggy, and 29 degrees with mist landing on the windshield as we drove to the Queen City Corvette Club's Car Care Day and BBQ. The photo below shows the front of my Vette covered with ice when we arrived at the club meet.

Luckily, she's nice and warm in her heated garage. Its a good thing too since we're expecting 12-18 inches of snow today and its 19 degrees outside. Buuuuurrr!!!

My wife was sitting next to me and had a good laugh at that. I can assure you though that I still wear the pants in this house, right hunny??? Besides, there's nothing wrong with root beer!!! So where's my delivery?? Better hurry, the snow is getting deeper and deeper!!!
