I finally woke up my C7 from its winter nap
Today was the big day. I took off the cover, unplugged the battery tender, and got my car out after nearly 5 months of hibernation. The battery tender Jr had been on continuously the entire time. The vette started up right away like I had been driving it every day. I checked under the hood looking for any indications of mice. No mice problems evident, and no dead mouse smells either.

Certainly a great day when you can get the Vette out and go for a nice cruise.

Can’t wait to unleash the beast. My 2019 Z is been in hibernation too and I’m really getting the itch to wake her up. Live near Chicago 1 day it’s 60-80 the next day 30-40. But the weathers about to pop! I drop my insurance coverage to just comprehensive in hibernation and I hate to reinstate it just for a nice day or two then sits again. Glad yours fired right up and drove nice👍

I joined the fun today also. We got temps in the mid 70s . I took the cover off , unplugged battery tender and took out dryer sheets and Irish Spring soap in trays. Check fluids and lowered air pressure to correct amount and went for a nice cruise . It felt great ! Came home and gave her a wash and detail !!
