Well 50 degrees and sunny is a great way to kick of December 1, 2017. My (nice weather) daily driver 2016 Mustang GT will rest this weekend, while the weekend Warrior (Snakeskin Green Machine) gets put back into motion.

I am driving my loaded to the teeth with high tech trickery 1990 Corvette now. Heading to my condo and then going to work. This will be the first time in 3 or 4 years since I drove my Corvette to work

Went and stole my dads C5 on Monday and have been using it as my DD every day since. Meeting up with some friends for a cruise on Sunday afternoon. Loving this extended warm streak!

Kind of weird driving your car December 1 and 80s. I should not say this BUT in Michigan it's very cool, when you can do it every day your car becomes more of a daily driver. I miss the ZR up North where car days are appreciated

Mid 50's in Chicago...gotta drive it. So much for a tankful of Stabil being wasted. Been nice all week, but only saw a handful of Vettes. Bears football is over with, so expect to see some Vettes on the road tomorrow.

No worries. He knows I have it. I had to call him to make sure it still had insurance on it! I felt the need to drive something with this nice weather to fill the void of selling my Z last year! Being vetteless sucks!

Your right Deb, when you drive your prized possession car too often like a daily driver you do appreciate it less and the thrill is gone easier then when its just your nice weather weekend warrior.
That being said MAN I WISH I WAS LIVING IN SOUTH FLORIDA this upcoming winter!

I put my Corvette through its paces on the way home today and it was a lot of fun, I filled the tank and parked it hoping this is not the last drive for a while. The forecast is calling for snow on Tuesday and Friday. Drive them if you can.
Vote for PLRX (C4) in the 2018 Corvette of the year competition. I would like to see a C4 win two years in a row

This weather this first weekend in December was incredible....
I wish this weather would last and I know it won't but I took full advantage of it.
54 degrees and Sunny on both this Saturday and Sunday Dec. 2nd and 3rd and the Green Venom Machine ate up the road like there was nobody's business and I blasted out to GAT Guns this Saturday to take my client shooting, and shot skeet today (Sunday) at the Lodge at Medinah Country Club. Logged in an easy 125+ Miles this weekend and loved every minute of it as its early December (and usually this time of year can have a ton of salt all over the roads).

Thank you my friend. Yeah the Snake Skin Green Venom Machine has been my favorite sports car I have ever owned absolutely LOVE that car!
I have owned 2 C5 Zs in my past, AWESOME cars, and always LOVED them in Silver! Glad you got to enjoy your baby on this beautiful first weekend of December and love the pic with the Christmas tree on top of your baby that's a first (good for you)!

Put close to 400 miles on the car between Saturday morning and sunday night. Most of it just driving with no real destination and finding new roads! Cruised around with my buddy in his Procharged 10sec C7.

December temps are here (over 50 degree drop off with the wind from Monday) but until the white stuff falls from the sky and the white chit gets thrown on the roads, my go fast fun cars will continue to eat up the roads and highways!
