We've had some pretty nice weather in Calgary lately so I've been getting a bit excited thinking the salt cleansing rains might come early this year and I can get my car out. Then I woke up to more f@#$in' snow this morning! Back to reality. Aargh!

Toronto is getting the salt cleansing rain tomorrow.

That is two mornings in a row where it snowed and then was nice in the afternoon.Not vette weather for sure.And i know we will get more snow in April.It sucks but we deal with it..

I've stopped looking at the weather forcasts 'cause they're always wrong!!

I just came back from the UK yesterday and was suprised to see white stuff but they say 18 on Saturday and i just got my new plates while i was away so i will register it today (Alberta only 1 plate lol)

CalGreg

That is an awesome plate! I can't believe it was still available.

Saw a VERY nice LT-1 out this morning... on the Deerfoot no less. More guts than I have.

steveblonde

I could believe it wasnt taken either,Yesterday i saw 6 vettes A ZR1 a red C5 Vert then a black and a blue C6 both verts then a Red c6 coupe then two other C5's and i put insurance back on mine and so did my neighbor on his C6

I was almost sick when I landed in Calgary today... maybe just jealous. All snow was melted here, 6 foot snowbanks at home.

Snow? What's that? We haven't had more than an inch or two on the ground at once all month and it's always been gone by the end of the day. (Bet we get nailed in the next couple of weeks...)

Had to take mine for a rip yesterday, got a dam window tint ticket $#@%$ all though if he would of been 20 secs earlier I probably would be with out a license today ......
Carefull on the back highways those new sheriffs all they do is hand out tickets.....

steveblonde

Aaron - where were you? How much was the ticket? What is the deal with the Sheriff's I took mine out yesterday too, but yours is a little louder and faster than mine

collectskulls

Highway 567 (big hills springs road)this one was only $57 the one I got in my truck 2 weeks ago was $115 don't know why the differnce.
As for the deal with the sheriff's just away for the province to make more money.

The other bad one now is 567 to Black diamond (the other way)- i thought the sheriffs were just for transporting prisoner to and from the jails, i would have kept going if one tried to pull me over,lol - i didn't realize. Next time try 22x to Rocky or south of millerville

Vette Dream

Maybe because your truck has 4 side windows whereas the Vette only has 2? 57$ is awefully close to exactly half of 115$!

I have absolutely no self control, maybe it has something to do with not getting my Z06 until last fall. I've had it out several times since Christmas, but only when it's been clear and warm for a stretch. Blasted from Airdrie to Canmore for dinner last night, I love that 1A from Cochrane but it's getting pretty rough.

rikzvette

There are a lot of police in and around Airdrie.I work there and if you drive around late at night every third car is a police car.My wife got a nice speeding ticket on the 567 a while ago but my good friend took it to court and had it reduced to nothing.I have never seen a guy who is so good in court.Much better than the guys at points.I like the drive from Airdrie to Canmore.I ski a lot so i drive there often.I go by Morley on the old highway.It is more fun to drive.

Pretty nice day here in Calgary today..............actually pulled my car out of the garage and washed it! Hah been sitting there untouched since the end of September, I still need to put in my HID kit I bought last fall.


Tony2

P.S. Steve your back from your vacation and had a good time I trust??

rikzvette

Hey Darcy.Yes that was my vette in for repairs.I finally got that power steering control valve fixed.I guess it works.I paid the bill and my wife grabbed the keys and away she went.Not much i can do about it though.She is leaving for the states this week so all of the parts i got on ebay will be coming back with her.Most importantly the new carpet.So i will have some fun with it for a few weeks then rip apart the interior put in the new carpet and stereo and then enjoy the summer..
