Nice. Before I retired I had an office out in Albany; most of my co-workers had big houses in Clifton Park. None of them had a vette, though.

I sold my 2003 50th Anniversary Vette so I had room for one more car in my garage for the long winter. I put the old F335 Ferrari on top of the new 08 4LT Z51.





I keep the garage heated to 50 degrees to keep everything warm and dry.

Default Waitng for spring!

Here's my 2008 C6 vert all snuggled up in her satin jammies from CoverKing and with a CTEK Multi US 3300 battery tender to keep her heart beating strong -- she will not get out of hibernation until the tons of sand and salt is off the roads .

Waitng for spring!

My car never sleeps, sometimes a rest is in order. I was able to go for a drive on January 3rd. Now the roads are salt covered, with little or no snow, rain would solve the problem. The car is always ready to go weather permitting.
