Beautiful looking car love that torch red!!! Was an awesome day today around the Chicagoland area for January. Wish it was like this the entire winter. I HATE THE WINTER!!!!
Sweet.....your grass is still green!
..70s here today and tomorrow. Drove into the 60° evening........
60 degrees in the evening? Now you’re just showing off!
...as for the grass, I think the Apple filter is playing tricks slightly...it’s not quite that green, though we’ve had a ton of rain so far this winter.

Mid-50's in the Willamette Valley last Thursday, so got the new Grand Sport(s) out for some break-in miles. Our Shadow Gray now has 276 miles, our friend's Torch Red has 137 miles.

Took mine for a 66 mile drive today, it was sunny and the temperature during my drive varied from 34-39 degrees. If the rest of this winter is as good as December and the first week of January, it will feel like winter almost didn't even happen here.
With all the Salt and sand they have put down on the roads due too the freezing rain and slush here, plus more rain tonight and tomorrow (like about an inch expected) mine can wait till April 1st or so. It's only 85 days out and it's been in a nice warm secure garage since November 1st.

85 days to go and it's already been in storage for more than 60 days? That sounds like an incredibly long time to be without a Corvette. I'm sure at some point during those 6 months you could find some dry roads that have no salt on them.

Agree, that is a long *** time. I can’t ever set my watch to it, but usually mine goes away by Thanksgiving (early Nov this year) and out by some mid March. 4+ month seems like an eternity. Ironically, November was colder and snowier than December or January thus far.
It's all my fault for the nice midwest weather. I bought snow tires for my daily driver for the first time ever and I'm delighted to say that it looks like I wasted my money. Looks like I'm going to buy a new set each year now so that I can keep wasting my money with this 50 degree weather.
We haven't even had enough snow out here to warrant salt. I'm not sure about other states, but Southeastern Michigan has really dodged some bullets since the semi snow/sleet/ice storm in November. Ironic enough, I actually drove my Vette that day for a year end detailing appointment at Motor City Auto Spa.
