The Atlantic seaboard is just amazing right now. Drove around with the top down in the high 60's.

I don't know why some of you put your cars away too early. This weekend was amazing. Was tempted to take the tops off the GS for the first time just to experience it before winter lol. But we're expecting heavy rain today and tomorrow and if I screwed up putting it back I don't want the headache of downpouring inside the car lol.

Man I hope we get 1 or 2 more mild days like that before winter officially starts. It was nice.

Cold and snow here over the weekend but clear today.

Am a bit anxious. We're headed out for a long road trip Friday. I sure don't want to contend with snow but may. I don't even like these OEM tires on very cold dry pavement.

December 12. Christmas parade in Kansas. Topless. Great day for a parade - prior to the following 30+ hrs of soaking rain (which could have been a nightmare of a blizzard if it was "normal" temps for this time of year.) It was my first Christmas parade, so I'll figure out decorations for next year's.
Apparently these parade-watchers weren't too interested in Vettes. Many other spectators along the route enjoyed the group of Vettes, though.

My 8 yr. old loved it!

Happy to see you getting some Vette weather during the normal down time. NY/PA/NJ warmer than Phoenix doesn't happen often.
We hit a chill here for a couple days. H 54 L 31 tomorrow.

I'm loving this! I don't participate in the snow sports, so I really didn't mind taking the car out instead of running the snowblower just to get out of the driveway even with AWD on my G37x.

Funny you mention that snowstorm, Snovember we called it. I live in West Seneca, had 7 and 1/2 feet in that same driveway. It was absolutely nuts!

We're used to disappointment when it comes to the Bills; never fails though, that we get excited every new season haha.
