..for the winter.. The snow has started, rock salt/sand on roads. The Vette is covered and tucked in the garage for months to come.. April is not that far away.:

Ugh! 
I just don't know how you guys do it. I couldn't stand that wait. Hell, I'm dyin' waiting for mine to be built and it'll only be about 5 weeks from the time I ordered it until I pick it up at the museum.

Jeremy - I've said it before but you were way too early ... even for MN ... I have had several nice weekends of driving still here ... AND perhaps this weekend might be in the 40s again ....
Even here in MN we can have some decent days in the winter so I never "put mine away" fully ...
But, I do envy the guys down south who get to drive all year round ... if I lived south I think I would use mine as a DD vs. my 4 wheel SUV.

OMG, my C6 was covered in ICE this morning. 
Being a South Florida guy, I never expected to see this. I'm up in Charlotte, NC doing a programming training class for the week and that **** was covered in ice. Even got the ICE warning in the DIC. 
Drove very carefully, cuz I know how those Z51 tires do in REALLY cold weather. Was 27 this morning. 
Where's Florida when you need her?
