Nice day for a bit of sunshine! Got her washed up and out for a little midday ride. Sorry for you cold weather (snow) guys. Soon enough.

Great day for a topless ride. Yes, it was in the 70s today in your neighborhood. Same in Pleasanton....but mine never left the garage.

You have the car looking good. It was decent here today, but not close to 70*. Snow is still melting here so roads are not only wet, but lots of salt on them.

I was going back and forth on washing it. I see where we might get a little rain next week. It was a nice day, and it needed. First day with the top off this year.

Luckily, our weather never really limits our driving time. That is why I've put on 23k miles on it in the last year (and this is the second car in the rotation). I've got a busy planned too (road trips). Hope you get some drive time in soon.

Looking good! We have an expected week+ of rain coming up. I've got her covered up for now (seeing as I just had it washed and it's under a carport). I don't mind driving it the rain, I just need to balance the miles with car #2 (insurance reasons).

65 degrees today. Made it out for a couple hours with the top off. First long ride in my new-to-me first Corvette. Spectacular, I am smitten. Shouldn't have waited so long! Thrilled.

This makes me happy for you. I’m still “smitten”. 3 years in April.

My mother always HAD to have a ragtop, no matter what else they owned. I never appreciated them. So, for my Vettes I've always used the clear tops and appreciate the "airiness" without the hassles even though I could, of course, still remove the clear tops. Never feel the need.
