No More saying Shhh baby sleeping , No More walking by GS and saying maybe will go out next week, No More just remembering what it was like driving my GS. We had nice weather today so I took the day off and uncovered my GS and said lets cruise. I was only able to drive it for three month before winter storage time . Now it's like having that brand new GS all over again to get use too and learn all the great features again. Let the fun begin!!

Great feeling once old man winter leaves and you can again enjoy the Vette experience. As you said it is like getting a new car again. Enjoy it.

No typing while driving here. Catching up on yard work today after work so there is a lot of cruise time over weekend. Checking forum during breaks!

Absolutely beautiful GS!!! That thing is smoking hot!!

Down here in south Texas I take my Vette out when I'm off work (work 7 day/nights straight, then 7 days off). I feel for you guys that live up north and have to put em in the garage for months. Up side though is you guys/gals are not suffering thru 95 degree heat with 90 percent humidity during the summer months.

It's a bummer having to put car in storage. It makes me appreciate having and enjoy driving during that part of the year were weather allows. I wouldn't mine some high temps after a long winter. Ok maybe not 95 degrees and 90 % humidity. Wait let me think about that!

Thanks for complement on my GS.

For me AC/DC is right behind Bruuuce then Stones and Guns & Roses for cruising music. I do have to sneak in Prince ( Little Red Corvette ) from my 04 TR days.
