Default Vette to work day

The weather is too nice so I couldn't resist driving my car to work. I had to negotiate a poor quality road, which normally keeps me from driving it to work, but all was well. Bonus, I get to park right outside my office. I have to go take a look often. I tried posting a picture with this post, I'm hoping it gets attached.

I think we got up to 1 F today. At least we did get to see the sun so it seemed a little warmer psychologically.

Lucky you to have such weather. Was around zero all day today here and snowed about an inch or so this evening.
