Default Spring ride

Took her out from storage today. First time this year. Put it away last winter with only 577 miles. Man, it sure felt good to get behind the wheel again.

Second time out today, sat for two and one half months this winter. Wasn't planning on the long sit. Can't wait to put the top down, only in the forty degree temperature range today.

Good for you but I probably will not be taking mine out till the end of April with still a foot or more on the ground and sand and salt all over the roads here in Massachusetts. The worst year ever recorded for snow in Massachusetts since they started keeping records of snowfall.

Put my '15 Z51 away with 483 miles on it. Sunny today but only 31 degrees here. Might be the middle of April before all the potholes are fixed!
