Default Finally
After four weeks of waiting the weather finally cooperated.I had only driven my 06 vert three miles from the dealer to my home,when the snow and ice hit in early February.Today was sunny and clear so I took her out for a short spin.Fifty miles later I was still smiling,what a thrill.I'm no novice and have owned many corvettes and muscle cars but this one really hits the mark.The down side being it's going to rain and snow this weekend.

Hate to tell you this, but I got to put the top down these last two days. And yes, life is good.

Glad you got to take her out. Although I am averaging about 250 miles a week I always find there is not enough good weather to drive my car in lately
