Default Second time driving
Finally got a chance to drive my new vette for only the second time since I purchased it on January 18th. Between work and the bad Cleveland weather the car has been parked for over two months since I brought it home. Sunday was cold but clear so I took her out for a drive and the wait was well worth it. Can't wait till the weather gets better to really be able to spend some time in it.

264 miles more and she is broken in. Then you can really take her for a ride.

Very nice! I almost took mine out Sunday also, but the holes in the roads near my house need to be filled first, so I fought off the urge.
