Crappy winter too! We got the vette out for the first time in 6 months. Mid 70's today and then a cold front coming thru right now. Low 30's tomorrow night.

Doesn't look too promising...
Last year Friday the weather was fine, but Saturday got completely washed out... I think there might have been less then 50 Vettes left on the NCM parking lot that day...

Ah well, we'll just have to hope for the best, the Vette won't melt...

What are the road conditions on I-71 and I-65 in the Louisville area if you don't mind me asking, any flooding or worse?
Leaving the Canton, OH area Thursday afternoon, just trying to anticipate what to expect while on the road...

Thanks, Sonny
