70s ?????..That settles it moving to Florida next winter and staying! Enjoy that Vette and post up some picks with that sunshine in the background.

It's been a pretty mild winter here in south eastern Wisconsin. Seems like all the bad weather has been going south of us. At least so far. That could all change but I'm enjoying it now.

If I could do the day all over again I would have taken the Stingray out for a drive. The temps were cold here today in upstate New York high of 20 degrees, sunny, roads dry with a little trace of salt here and there but it would have came back in the garage still clean. I ended up not driving it because of concern about the tires being too cold. I could have taken it easy and put the car in "weather" mode. Oh well, I missed my chance today.

I am glad I took that chance on Saturday, it was also cold here (between 24-27F during my drive) but the roads were clean with only a hint of salt (on the edges of the roads mostly, not in the center) It went back in the garage still clean, but now they've dumped a ton of salt on the roads and we have some potential for snow the end of this week so it could be a little while before I can take it out again.

It looks like Michigan's luck is about to run out There's a chance of heavy snow this coming weekend for the South Eastern part of the state. I guess it's finally time to check the snow blower and making sure it's up to speed.

Southern Ontario is also going to get hit by that massive storm by the looks of it. We have been very lucky this year, other than mid November when we got an early storm, we've had almost no snow, and not very many super cold days either. But we're getting both super cold and snow over the next couple of weeks. It could be a long while before I get my C7 out for another drive

I'm not sure where you live, but good luck driving it in deep snow if your area gets a foot or more this coming weekend. Even with snow tires you won't be going anywhere in that Corvette with it's low ground clearance.

Partly sunny & 50. Crappy for the next 7 days or so with light rain.



No roof, no ride. Will be adding a C7 or C8. Prior Stingray was a C2 '67 Coupe.
