We've recieved atleast 24" of snow so far. Colder than normal but usual snow cover. My Vette wont be out before April.

It's Russ Kemp in Regina. Perhaps someone can post his contact info.
There is a good group of us in Saskatoon that feel your pain on having to park the cars for winter. As for where to go to get a tune...good question. Last I heard, and this information is going to suck, there is a guy in Regina who knows Vettes really well. A member with us had him install long tube headers and perform a tune to his 03 Z06. He is very happy sith the job that was done. Other guys might know his name, I'll throw you a PM.

Ahhhh, excellent, thank you very much for knowing who to contact in Regina. I knew someone would know the information.
It sounds like you guys are having fun out in BC with the snow.
I'm glad to see people are still keeping this thread alive!
Just thinking of the weather, as I brought my Vette up from Vegas this spring, I wonder how it is liking this freezing cold weather.

all the way from vegas thats a long way to go, did you drive it back yourself?
I picked mine up in minneapolis, michigan and i thought that was a far enough drive. Had five days off, left first day spent the night in fargo. Drove rest of the way next day pickep up the car spent the night there and started back the next day. Stopped again fargo on way back relax a little and to let the girlfriend shop.
I always get a guilty feeling come over me at border crossing too even though ive done absolutly nothing wrong. It must be the impression they put forward, very uncomfortable to say the least. Especially when they hall me and gf out of the car, make us sit in an enclosed room as they strip the car.

Hey guys, for what its worth I also started a Facebook group called "Saskatoon Vettes". It might be easier to build a local community there as well.
If your on Facebook just seach "Saskatoon Vettes" and join! See ya there!
