Default My Countdown Has Started

It has been somewhat chilly here in Western Pennsylvania. However,things are starting to look up--it was 51 and sunny today. It looks like I will be getting my Vette out of the garage on March 31,that is unless it snows on that day. I can't wait.
I really got spoiled this winter after spending some time around Vero Beach,Ft.Pierce and Stuart. There were Corvettes everywhere!
I am looking forward to a great Corvette Summer!

I'm a little farther west than you two, west of Canton Ohio. As soon as we get enough rain to wash the salt off the roads here, mine will be released from captivity. Hopefully it won't be much longer.

Where you live, you can get snow through Mother's Day. You should drive it when you can, since wintry weather is totally unpredictable.


We got snow the last wknd of March a few years ago in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX.

Just drive it!

I'm over by Lancaster and I've had mine out a few times already. I don't care about the temps, just if there are cinders on the road from snow.
I lived in Stuart when I had my boat in a slip there, and you're right, one can get jealous of how they ride with the tops down or off all year.

I spent some of the best summers of my life in the Indiana/Blairsville area with much of my extended family having grown up there. Best summers of my life...

I just watched the news for Upstate NY and they're calling for more snow and 22 degrees tomorrow. I guess it stays in the garage for a while longer..
