Default Spring at last

The glacier blocking the door to the storage garage where my vert has been parked since December 9th finally receded and I pulled it out for the first time this year. It’s been a long winter especially since I bought it in late November and stored it with 944 miles on the odometer. Big smiles all the way home Now if it would just stop raining, I could put the top down.

I'm right there with ya! Took mine out tonite since putting her to bed on Dec 5th.

Although I am jealous of our southern enthusiasts, the anticipation of the first spring ride is only second to the wait when I bought it and picked it up at the museum.

Boy, it feels good to air out the LS3 and listen to it sing. Pure music.

Still a little snow in the yard here. Need a bit more rain to get rid of the salt on the roads. Vette is up on jack stands anyway. Installing Z06 brakes and new chrome spyders.
