Default Finally!!

I finally got to drive my car today after a month of snow and icy roads in the DC area. What even made it better today is seeing another LeMans Blue C6 at the traffic light and exchanged greetings. Man it looks so cool when my car drives by !

Furthest I've gotten in the past 8 weeks is to back up so the tail end is poking out the garage & let her run for 20 minutes just to get the fluids warmed & circulated. Still WAY to much salt & crud on the roads in North Jersey!

I've had mine new 07 vert for three months and have only driven it once and that was the way home from the dealer. Going to get 16 inches of snow here in Iowa today so it's going to be awhile before I get to drive it.

The same thing happened to me last winter. Drove it home from the museum, and then it stayed in the garage for 3+ months.
