Default Another C6 Out Today

I know many owners in the northern part of the country park their Corvettes during inclement weather. That is OK, but something I don't do.

Today was wet, gray and high 30s in the Chicago area. I met a brother Mason for lunch and when I was leaving, I found another Corvette parked next to mine.







I have no idea who my fellow 'vette owner was. Both cars were appropriately dirty, and mine will get a bath tomorrow as the WX is to be nice.

But if he was a real man, he would've had the top down.

Looks like an Illinois December "Vettefest" to me!

I saw a Jetstream Z06 on the street the other day and hope to get mine out of her bag this weekend.

I sure thought about it. Then I look at all the salt and sand on the road already and think......not. So I just pull up a lawn chair and sit next to it in the garage and have a Nordeast or two.

Haven't and won't put mine to bed...even in southern Illinois. No snow yet...just rain--

As soon as the weather is good and roads clear...we go driving... I'm with you Jack!

Enjoy the ride...
