YEAH Baby April 1st is here (and that's no April fool's joke) and all the toys are ready to come out to play on a full time basis to kick off the 2017 car season!! Despite my name here I am definitely not a brand specific guy, although I do seem to favor the old school classic (Mopar) Muscle Cars. But, if it's American and bad to the bone, I'm all in, be it Mopar, Chevy or Ford! Right on cue with today the Sun decides to show its face to, let the fun begin!

I think we can finally do away with the road salt reports. What we need now is "water standing on the roadway" reports.

Didn't think anyone would want to go. Rather have people show up for St. Jude. Here are some pictures from today.

Beautiful sunny day today on April 1st.

Put over 100 miles on the Venom Viper and blasted out to Marengo Guns, in Marengo, IL. For any of the gun enthusiasts here who have never been to that Marengo Guns, its an awesome gun store that you must check out and they beat all the other gun shops (including Gats), by at least $50 to $100 on all their new guns and they have a BIG collection (and sales tax is only 7%). They also have a great used collection of handguns, rifles and pistols, that gun shop is way cool, its like being in AZ, you walk in and can start handling ARs and AKs that are unchained in racks and nobody even asks to see your FOID! Just the way it should be!

Love Marengo Guns. Bought most of my stuff there for the various reasons you stated. I even managed to get the Z06 out yesterday and put about 60 miles on it.

Haven't been in the Marengo Guns direction yet but have had the car out 3 times so far with 250 miles total.

Looks like a small window without rain today, GO HAWKS!!!

Oh Yeah, Mega Sports many, many times, and bought a several guns from them, they are the BIGGEST gun store in the area by far as far as inventory on the premises. I have been to the Range/Store on I 355 also nice medium size newer store.

Worth the ride Bob to go for a nice out into the Country to Marengo Guns in the ZR1 you will be amazed at how that place operates (its like being i AZ) and their prices blows away everybody else out of the water (other than internet sales).
