Ive come so close to sweeping garage floor, pull my baby away from the wall and remove her cover. Maybe this week...and do some detailing...maybe paint the brake calipers red like I’ve been wanting to do. We have at least another 1-2 months left of winter here. Sigh

but for ya’ll that are able to enjoy your steeds, keep posting those lovely photos!

I’m resisting any and all premature/fake Springs...last year on April 16th we got dumped on with a PILE of snow when on April 15th we had bare ground. On average our last day of snowfall is April 12th. Though I’m pining and hoping for having our Vette on the road May 1st. Here’s crossing my fingers!

Over the years I've gotten burned by spring snowstorms after taking my car out of storage too early. It sucks getting the Vette out only to put it back in the garage for another couple weeks as the plow and salt trucks pass by.

But at least with Spring snows, you know it's only a matter of a short time and the snow will all go away.. Unlike late Fall snow storms where it's going to be hanging around for the next 5 months...

My car is still sleeping under a quilt, plugged in to life support (a battery tender) waiting for the ice on the gravel driveway to melt and dry out. The roads are free of snow and ice now, but some rain would be nice to wash some of the sand away.

Waiting for a good rain to wash off the winters supply of road salt & sand is what I wait for as well.

We have had several rains since any salt was applied. 2 or 3 nice sunny days coming. 10 day outlook doesn't look bad so today or tomorrow will get my C6 Vert out of storage.

Sweet! You around Indy area? Remember 1st season ride photo so the rest of us snowbound C6 verts can live precariously in thought.

East one county and south 1 county from South Bend...30-35 miles from Michigan line.

Unfortunately a change in plans so getting out of storage may have to wait.

U. P. ? Or upper lower Michigan ?

Oh okay I know the general area. I lived in Indiana for17 years, station at Grissom AFB.

Northern Lower Michigan.

I uncovered and took our 06 vert off the wheel Dolly’s, started up just beautifully. Idled her for several minutes and revved her up a bit to hear that ROAR! Needed my fix. Now I’ve time to detail her out to a mirror glow.
