Default I got a little suntan today and ...

... Four waves, three 'Nice Car' comments, two thumbs up, one honk and a bunch of looks. It was fun!!

We've had weeks of mostly cloudy & rainy weather here and today the sun finally came out with a beautiful blue sky and 70 degree temps. This was the first time I've been able to take the top off and have a great drive along the Intracoastal waterway. I saw three other great looking Vette's with their tops off/down and exchanged the wave with all of them. It was a GREAT day for sure.

Beautiful looking Vette, great that you are able to enjoy it this time of year when many others are in hibernation.

Around 28* here today and roads still have lots of salt/cinders on them from the last snow. So car stays in the garage and no cruising with the top off.

that you had such a nice day for a topless cruise.

God I'm envious! Being from Portland, if you don't drive in the rain you won't get much driving time in the winter and spring.

Default Sorry guys

I'm in Tampa, and it was 79 today without a cloud in the sky. I drove over to beach for lunch and had grouper for lunch. It's rough but someone has to do it! Saw three other c7s while in route.

Florida (AKA) Heavens waiting room! I'm only in my early 70's, not ready for Florida yet. Mom just died two years ago. I'll stick it out with the winters here in Wyoming!

I took my top off for the first time today also, just to see how hard it was to take on and off, but unfortunately it was only in the garage the roads still have to much salt on them.

Born and raised in Florida. Drive my corvettes 365 days a year. You need not make negative comments about a place you know little about. To each his own but Florida has what I prefer / warm weather and lots of beautiful beaches !!
Happy you like Wyoming.

Car looks great! I've had mine for about a month, and have been enjoying it. It is filthy, but took it to Cars and Coffee this morning. It is in need of a bath, but driving it and football playoffs have taken priority. I still have not taken my roof off to even test taking it off.
