Thanks.
It got much better down the road, but I had to put my phone down and drive. I was just getting started when I took this shot and then took off! The road gets a little hilly, and curvy as you go.

Sure beats this (no traffic on the other side 'cause the road is blocked both directions further up on the slammed side). This is winter-typical of HWY 400, out of Toronto.

Great thread!
Life in Florida in December. This was taken on my way home with my best friend in my newly purchased '12 GS. I guess you'd call it 72-75-468. 72 degrees, 75 mph, 468 miles of asphalt between Savannah, Ga and my home in Ft. Lauderdale. What a way to enjoy your first ride in your first Corvette.

I make a point to get out at least once a week, weather permitting, and drive from 25-75 miles just for fun! We have some nice hill country roads nearby. Sounds like a good New Years resolution for you maybe to get out and cruise!

I don’t envy your winter weather. Hang in there!

Glad you got the drive in on Sunday. I should have taken mine out. The weather has sucked since then in and around Austin/San Antonio.
