Default Nice day for a cruise...not!

It was a beautiful, cloudy, cold Sunday, with about 6" of snow from Saturday night. So, I fired up the snow blower to find some bare pavement and when I was done I went for an awesome cruise ... about 25' backwards and sat in my car dreaming of spring

That is funny man. We can always dream seating in the car with it running also hitting the gas every few mins.

Then the guy next drives by and says look at that fool.

You get that heavy snow from the Northeasters. We get about 120" of lake effect snow each winter, but the warm weather had it green here on Friday -then we had the Saturday night snow and about 8" more on Sunday night and we look like a "winter wonder land" again

Be careful with those tires. Anything below 40 degrees and you could start to have some serious cracking problems. Good luck.

Funny, I did the exact same thing a few days ago! Boy am I getting the itch!....but sadly it'll likely be a couple more months.

So, the drift boys do ups and downs inside parking garages. Do you all suppose they got started by trying to find some place dry to play over the winter? Pat

Nice! I'm sure that some will say that they drive their Vette in snow storms all the time... up hill, both ways... bla, bla, bla.

Spring will be here soon

It was 80 and sunny in Raleigh yesterday. We went for a ride to the greenway then a nice hike. The only bad thing was that I got my windows tinted Friday and couldn't roll them down until today so we had the top on and AC running.

Nice ride!
My rims are actually factory painted Black Z51 rims. I bucked the trend and my calipers are also factory black -so basically everything is black, except the chrome badges and Ray.
