That's a Wasaga Beach count down - No way I'm waiting that long - first rainfall washes the salt off the roads - out she comes

With the temp up around the 5C mark, I decided to drive the Z06 over to the GTG in the GTA today ... man it felt good! Corrado ... throw the insurance back on, and get out there and enjoy yourself ... life is too short!

Believe me Mark, I'm tempted. This winter has been a joke, haven't had to shovel the driveway even once. But if I take it out now it will be WAY too much of a distraction and I'll get no work done, so I'm gonna wait. Plus there's no hood on it right now, so not in driving condition yet.

Out here on the left coast it hasn't been much of a winter. Should have left the insurance on at least one. Monday morning and I will be driving a real car again, and I won't be feeling sorry for you Untario boys. Yes, that was a dig....

Well apparently the groundhog and weather Canada agree that only 6 more weeks (so 42 days) are officially going to be Winter. I agree though, as soon as water washes the white off the road and the temperature stays above 7C I will insure the car and get her out . My tires just do not do well with any lower temperatures than that. Which reminds me, any recommendations on what tires? I do not like the Invos in the rear, maybe Michelin Pilot Sport Cup? I know they are only 80 AA A but for one season that would be awesome grip

Crap sledding season, my Vette is coming out March 15th, rain or shine !!!

Managed to get some seat time in down in Phoenix, not a Vette, but great to get out and drive with the windows down in the beautiful sunshine. More pics here...

This 5.0 L GT was pretty nice, a few mods and it would be excellent

Have seen many more corvettes driven this winter in the Georgetown area this year than ever...unreal winter.
Going to Scottsdale for a few weeks....looking forward to driving in nice weather more than golfing......98m3rag.
cheers all.

I saw another one out in GTown today.

"Mine" couldn't wait any longer.

Enjoy your trip to Scottsdale.

You guys would be ticked if I pulled my Z out ... we'd have a guaranteed 10 more weeks of pounding winter .

I bought a snowblower on Boxing Day. You're all welcome .
