Spring is near. I'm off to Florida (Orlando area) this coming weekend so hopefully it'll be warmer down there. We had about 11' of snow since mid January and very persistent cold temperatures. Your car looks awesome.

Been one rough Winter, fortunately I spend most of it in Florida. Headed back this coming Saturday to take delivery of my new Arctic Vert. It has been waiting for me since Jan. 19th.
A turn in the weather would be nice.

I spent most of the winter in Florida while my C7 sat back in Canada in my garage, very sad ! Just no practical way to drive to take the C7 (with it's summer only tires) vs our SUV down to Florida for the winter. Kinda lonesome ever time I saw a nice C7 drive by

A few days of 50 degrees and one good rainstorm away from rolling the C7 out of the garage.

If you go again next year, just drive the C7 down there in October or November when the chance of encountering snow and cold temps on the trip down are very slim.

I plan on spending my winters in Florida when I retire (in 15 years mind you) and I will bring whatever Corvette I have (could be a C9 by then!) with me every year. Might as well enjoy the great Florida winter to the fullest by having a Corvette to drive down there!
