Default Nice Day today!

Got some outsude time today. Had some rocks kicked on my car by a Honda that purposely cut me off. IThank God I ceramic coated the car a couple months back. Also had a tailgater smiling and laughing behind me as he kept driving up my rear. One nice person stopped to let me pull out of the driveway. I was able to put the top down which indexed the driver window after I had the battery drain. It was nice to finally get out but it's always a risk. Here are a couple of pics.

Thanks for the kind words! It's suppose to be nice here in NJ for a couple of days, then rain and possible snow storm again so it's a good time to get a few miles in. Hope Spring arrives early!

I had the day off and nearly took the vette out of the garage. I installed the leveling kit on my truck instead. No regrets

Nice pictures Shirl, Beautiful Corvette! I always wait for one good rain storm starting in March to clean up the scum on the roads . I am then good to go unless we get some more salt sand and snow! Enjoy Spring is coming soon!

Thanks Dave! The roads here were pretty clean as we had some rain recently. I can't believe I had the top down in the middle of February! I've never done that before. Pretty wild.

Great that you were able to go for a drive today, even though there apparently were some jerks out there on the road with you.

Still too much salt on the roads around here, but looking forward to when I can get the car out and go for a drive too.

Super looking car! Silver and red is classic.
I am also from NJ, couldn't get out on Monday but looking forward to Wed as the temps are going up to the mid sixties with sun. Maybe even put the convertible roof down. Try and get out on Wed if you can.
