REALLY REALLY Hate Winter!!
My car arrived at the dealership Wednesday and was going to pick it up tomorrow. Now they're forecasting a small blizzard in Chicago tomorrow morning!!
Looks like I'll be waiting until next Saturday as my work schedule doesn't allow picking it up next week. If the anticipation doesn't kill me first.
Worst winter in WI I can ever remember. Don't think we've gone more than a day or two up here without snow!

Tell me about it bruther. Im in houston tx and its been ***** cold here too, this winter has been very unforgiving. I moved here from the bay area (northern Cali) to escape the cold and now it found me here lol. Look at it like this, you are going to enjoy your baby that much more, and will have summer/spring around the corner to look forward to. Hang in there my man, Ur right at the finish line

I am in Madison, and your right it sucks bad. I ordered mine so it shows up in May. Should be perfect timing. I actually looked at a Porsche TT today in Chicago to see if I would prefer buying a used one of these or a Vette. I think it help me cement the vette, as much as I have always wanted a TT looking at it I didn't think it was that great inside.

In my 40’s I broke my wrist on the ice and made a promise to myself that by the time I retired it would be a state where driving 365/yr is pleasant. Took some sacrifices, a carreer change and a pay cut or two but everyday I wake up down here, it starts as a good day with a rinseless or wipe down of the car. And a smile.

Agreed, this winter has been absolutely RELENTLESS!!!
One good thing has come from it, however…
I'm an equipment operator for the Town of Hempstead Highway Department over here, and the overtime has been TREMENDOUS!!! $$$
All that extra is Corvette down payment money

If it makes you feel any better I live in Florida and my C7 has spent the entire week in the garage due to the ice/snow.
It almost makes me wish Al Gore was right.

I received my C7 in mid-October and I was unable to use it long enough to learn exactly what it was all about and more importantly to enjoy it. Now, nothing--only thing getting any action is the trickle charger. I appreciated the small tease, but it only made it more difficult to ride out the Winter. Enough already!

I am in FL for Jan-April but opted not to bring my C7 with me. Mistake. I was back in MI for a few days last week and took the cover off to see it. Mistake. (I hope the third mistake isn't buying another one--that Laguna Blue sure is pretty........Sarah, you look great in blue......)
