It was almost worth the ticket I got today to say that I drove the Vette the day after Thanksgiving in 60 degree weather!

WHEN IT'S 30 BELOW OUT I WILL KICK MYSELF FOR NOT GETTING IT READY TO PUT AWAY I just came back from doing over 100 mph on I-290 West in my 1970 Dodge Charger 440 and just picked up the vette after getting her detailed and a coat of wax put on her for the winter. I would take 60 degrees and SUNNY all YEAR and be a very HAPPY PERSON!!!!!!!

I wanted to hear my new Stingers roar so I called my insurance and asked to reinstate so I could be legal. Had lots of fun cruising around some of the back roads of McHenry county. Now I gotta clean the car up again before she goes back in storage!! What a great day. Global warming has it's priviledges!!

Enjoy it while you can ! 
That's what I plan to do until it goes back to the body shop. Two days of great weather left until rain on Monday.

I've been driving mine all week, yesterday included, actually took the top off for a while when driving around Schaumburg, got on 290/355 had to put top back on
Anywhoo..my theory on all this is, I do semi-put the car away. Mine will come out any day during the winter where there happens to be no-salt and it's dry (i know far and few between). We always do seem to have a few odd days (like the last few) during winter.
For now though she's all cleaned up and tuked away. I just gotta wash the car cover today, and then put the battery tender on.
