40 days and counting (until April 1st)!
Better Yet, only 28 days until the first official day of spring (March 20th) and usually we are good to go right around then for the fun cars to be out full time!

For sure, best winter so far that I can remember!
Had the Viper out today to get its oil changed for the upcoming 2016 car season and this is the first times the Viper or one of my Vettes over the last 16 years has been out when we are still in Feb!
38 days and counting (until April 1st)!
Better Yet, only 26 days until the first official day of spring (March 20th) and many times we are good to go right around then for the fun cars to be out full time (and I don't think this winter is going to disappoint us)!

I had my car out Saturday for a while. If it were not for all the tons of salt in the damn parking lot at work, I'd be driving it almost daily. Most of the roads around me were pretty clean. ..at work not so much..there are literally piles of salt where the trucks stopped, turned around or whatever and left the spreader going.

This just reminded me that I'm way behind on replacing the front clip and rear deck on my 75. And I'll be real lucky for the 68 to run this year. The spring fun is gonna start late this year.

OK, I hate to rub it in but the wife has a business trade show 45 mins from San Diego so she twisted my arm and got me to join her at Harrahs Casino Resort in So. California this weekend, where its been 82 degrees and sunny everyday, and I have been living large eating and drinking like a King and winning on the craps table (and I love playing dice/craps in a Vegas type of environment).
Best part is when I get back home it will be March 1, 2016.
That being said 33 days and counting (until April 1st)!
Better Yet, only 21 days until the first official day of spring (March 20th) and many times we are good to go right around then for the fun cars to be out full time (and I don't think this winter is going to disappoint us)!

For those of you in town I hope you were out and about in your fun cars this weekend since we are having record or near record warm weather here in Chicagoland. Mopar Jimmy I hope you were able to rent a nice car while “working” in San Diego!!!

An old thread, 2014, but has anyone been to and bought a condo from these people? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...aperville.html

No relationship I just liked the user name. I liked Yukon Cornelius but it was taken. Here is a little video:
The warmest I had seen was 61 on the CLTV time and temp bug which should be good for the record.

Just 20 days now until the first day of Spring (on the National Calendar) March 20th, 2016.

Made the arrangements yesterday, mines coming home April 2!
While I was at it, I contacted Dennis at DoubleD Mods and got on his calendar for a doubledin stereo. Time to move this 02 into current audio technology!
