Had mine out last weekend for a short drive and then again yesterday for a longer drive. It's nice to get it out again but sucks having to be on high alert for giant pot holes

Looks like it ain't quite happening here yet either in Chicagoland (near the WI border). 1/2" - 1" snow (YUK!!!) expected here tonight.
Few more weeks. ALL snow and Salt residue has to be completely washed away before my baby come out.

Snapped this photo in late January.

Thought it might warm you guys up a little.

I lived upstate New York for 20 years, so I know just how y'all feel.

This is an old pic, but this winter is not over.
It's supposed to snow 1-3" tonight with 3-6" for the East end of Long Island. We're supposed to get lucky; but if it tracks 100-150 miles to the West, this Nor'easter can dump a foot or more with 50-60mph winds. (cover off for pic only).

Took the cover off a couple of weeks ago, Had some work to get done before spring.



Z06 Shocks, Z51 sway bars, New end links, Oil change and brake fluid change.



Made it to the gas station a mile from the house... baby steps..



Took it to Toys R' Us to pick up a new Xbox game, still snow in the parking lot (*GASP*)



Friend of mine had Ribs and Chicken on the smoker last weekend, took it out there. Was clear outside but I think the high was in the 40s?



Can't go anywhere with a bright yellow car without being spotted. Friend of mine posted this on facebook on Saturday, spotted the wife and I out doing some shopping in town.




Hopefully once we make it through todays threat of snow we will be in the clear. This winter sucks.
