Looks like the driving weather the next 7 days at least is looking great headed into December! 
Driving my nice weather daily driver, 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 the rest of the work week and can only hope this winter is 1/2 as easy as the last 2.

Et tu Brute?
Lol.
Dan,
Why put her away while the weather is still good? Why not enjoy it until the first salting of the year hits my friend?

Hey Jimmy; next time you are going to marengo guns, let me know. That's only about 30 minutes form the house. THere is also a pretty nice store with indoor range about 20 minutes west of me; Smokin Guns.
As for the cars; they are resting comfortably on the tenders. Maybe take the 66 out if the weather stays nice.

This is the latest I have driven a Vette in years, usually I put them in storage day after Thanksgiving. Aug, Sept. Oct. Nov are the busiest time of the year for me.

Good to hear from you buddy hope you guys are well!
Will do, Love Marengo Guns, great gun store, they are so laid back there you would think you were in an Arizona gun shop, Lol, and of course they have the best prices versus any of the other guns shops in the great Chicago Metro Area.

I drove my 1990 Corvette around today about 50-60 miles. I am glad I did not put it away for the winter the day after Thanksgiving. I know this in the November thread but here is a video I made in December of 2011 when we were having a mild up to that time winter. Hopefully we will have another mild winter this year too

Another great day near Cleveland yesterday, 55 F sunny and clear, clean dry roads. Had the C5 out for three hours driving on some roads I didn't know ever existed. Supposed to be 56 F today, but chance of rain tonight, tomorrow, and getting cold on Wednesday.

Driving on hold but not due to weather
I went on the caravan to the rock on Thanksgiving that Punz posted pics of. One of the guys said my tail lights were on constantly. I thought that was just from braking alot since that ride got high spirited at times. Then Saturday a guy pulls up next to me and says my brake lights are always on but go off when I actually apply the brakes! So I find threads about this here. Appears to be the BCM (body control module). So I'm out of action till I get this fixed.
It's a 2008 and getting will be needing some other work soon so maybe this is an excuse to go C7
