...until I get my vette out after being in the garage all winter. The weather has been warming up. First I am going to Jupiter, FL next week for Cards spring training, and when I get back, its time to start driving the vette again.

Had mine out yesterday and again tomorrow. No spirited driving due to the cold. But upstate NY had only 10 inches of snow all year so far. Roads clear and dry car comes out.

It does feel like getting a new car. My full coverage insurance kicks back in April 1, and I can't wait.

Weather for Sunday....62 degrees and sunny! But....there has been snow/freezing rain for the last few days. They were spreading salt/sand for three days now! I'll wait until after next week. They are predicting rain for 6 of the seven days....that should wash off all the salt from the roads!! Then I'll be able to try out the new Bridgestone RE 050A run flats!!!

It's snowing now and 19 degrees.

I think it will be a few more days before she comes out of storage.
