Glad you had some clear weather for some fun. Nothing like hitting that go pedal for some fun and getting the blood flowing.

Last week, I uncovered the Vette after being under wrap for the previous month with no charger or tender. Cranked right up. The only time that I had a battery problem was when I failed to unplug the radar detector and did not drive for 5 or 6 days.

Now I suppose murphy will kick me in the tail and the Vette will not start next time I uncover it for a drive
