WOW, this super dry weather (with no snow or rain) allowing me to drive my Mustang GT the last week straight (and even the Viper probably one day this Christmas weekend ) is really helping me pass the fist 1/3 of winter by very easily!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Default Glad the streets were pretty clean

Upgraded from 2008 base A6 to 2016 Z06 A8. Drove a bit and got it home on clean roads.

Merry Christmas Bob! The '08 was going to need some work and this appeared at a great price so I got my stealth fighter! Here it is at final prep.

WOW, that is Awesome Bob (Carvin) and that's how to buy a Christmas gift for yourself brother! Congrats and enjoy that beast in good health!

I took advantage of the clean roads today and anticipating maybe some snow overnight (and a ton of fresh salt) had the Mean Green, Viper, Venom Machine out all day today!

I shot this about an hour ago and it was snowing pretty hard at the time and its still coming down now. Merry Christmas


Here is another one I shot for the C4 Christmas thread


The snow plows have made several passes but its coming down quite a bit so it will be a little while before the Corvette sees the road again probably not the rest of this month but maybe January???

It started out as rain, then a pause but not long enough to dry the roads before the snow and salt trucks came.

Merry Christmas every one

It's been terrible here. 7 inches in the last 24 hours now a week of lows in the single digits and wind chill under 0.

I'm ready for Spring now.
