You betcha man, have to take advantage when Spring comes early, this life is just too short! Glad you took out your Shark Grey Rocketship and enjoyed the great driving conditions today.

Had the Viper out all day, battery is now fully charged and she is extra clean after getting a much needed hand wash. Spring is in the air

Let the countdown continue:

Just 34 days now until April 1st and only 23 days until the first day of spring (March 20th)!

Default Can't wait

It's been snowing here in the Reno area. Finally stopped for a few days ago. Made it all the way 50 today So I took the wife for a ride to California and back. Just couldn't wait anymore. She just loved the ride we enjoy the heck at the car. It's almost as beautiful as she is

That's a sweet looking C6 my friend. Spring is just around the corner, your baby will be out full time before you know it.

53 degrees and all sun on Feb. 26th, I will take that and run with it all day long! Took the Viper to work, played hookey and left the office early (its great to be the boss) to enjoy the weather and give my Viper ACR a fresh oil change for the new car season, which is just about upon us. Spring continues to be in the air

Let the countdown continue:

Just 33 days now until April 1st and only 22 days until the first day of spring (March 20th)!

I took mine out for a spin in the neighborhood today. The new splitter does not hit my driveway curb. Which is excellent!

Great pics. Carvin, what a bad *** beauty of a car that is. Also, the unique red racing seats and interior really makes things pop.

What dealer did you find that bad boy at?

Thx Jimmy. Yeah, the baby is loaded!

Highline. Huge 20K sq ft warehouse with a lot of high end cars in Willowbrook. It's like Supercar Saturday in there!

Your car is awesome, can't wait to see it in person. I got to visit that gas station on the rt.66 red carpet corridor tour last year, good time.

Default Just another day in the 50s in late Feb.........

Took advantage of another day in the 50s today on the last day of Feb, Feb 28th, and blasted off to Evanston to visit my dad in my 2016 Mustang GT, 5.0 (435 HP), with Performance Package, 6 speed, 3.73s, Recarro Seats, the Stang is a blast to drive. Stretched her legs but good and battery is now fully charged after sitting for several weeks dormant!

Let the countdown continue:

Just 31 days now until April 1st and only 20 days until the first day of spring (March 20th)!
