Default Drive before the storm.

Roads dry, sand marginal, got my last C6 blast in before the storm , maybe 1 more tomorrow.
One of the things that make the winter go by faster.

As soon as the sand gets off the driving area of the street, I'm gone!

Damn I already got the snowblower ready and it's blocking the Vette. May just have to move it and go for one last drive else it may be a week or more before the next chance.

I'll be emptying the garage today. Last chance for exercising the cars before the BLIZZARD expected here on Cape Cod. Looks like we will get the jackpot. We were overdue. 15 inches expected with whiteout conditions and 60 mph gusts. Snowblower ready and wood stove is cranking.

Got it Tuesday, only 122 miles on it.

I'll take it out before the snow or I'll have to wait untill the snow and salt is washed away.

I took my baby out for a ride this morning. Just finished tucking her back in the garage. Probably won't get another chance to drive her again for a few weeks.

Took mine out for a ride yesterday afternoon to top off the gas tank. Brought her back and put the cover on... I have a feeling it is going to be a while until I can drive her again.

Right now, I am looking at a lot of white stuff coming down. We are expected to get 8 - 12 inches in the Philadelphia area.

Mods are the answer to snow days! When the forecast outside is 6-12 inches of snow, the forecast inside the garage is me, a space heater, and 6-12 more HP!

Sadly, I didn't get the chance to take the vette for one more spin before the storm. Now its safely in the garage w/ the snow blower behind it. Forecast is currently 8"-13" in my area. I hope it passes quick cause its going to be a long weekend w/o my car.
