First time out since December? 
I don't know how you guys do it. I don't have that kind of patience. Good thing I live in Florida.

My 05 Vert has been parked since Dec 1st and up here in VT we still have melting snow! Crappy pot holes, water, sand, salt and big frost heaves are everywhere. We aren't quite ready for Vette season even though it is absolutly beautiful out today. My patience is running thin
but I think we'll be lucky if the roads are ready before mid April

I was lucky here until mid January when we got hit with a little snow and ice. All the salt and sand had melted, but we got hit with another storm last friday and now the roads are horrible again. I'm hoping for a couple of good rain storms to clean things up.

The above advice is great to first check out on the track. That's irresponsible advice. I'm sure he is just joking. If not, he should be.
Take care.

Congratulations on the 'new' Corvette! I agree with others, I just don't know how you guys do it....buy a beautiful C6 and then hibernate for months on end (in many cases). I know that's just 'the way it is' but I admire your patience and resolve. I think most of those cold winter nights I'd be in the garage, sitting in the driver's seat....with Jack.
