Bill (Don) Corleone this is exactly what I am talking about, about life being way too short and I am sorry to hear about your friends you recently lost to cancer and struggling with same at young ages.

Go get that C7 GS man and keep you 1990 Vette you bought brand new. Having the 2 would be awesome! Just rent out a garage space (don't feel bad I rent out 3) I know you can afford it and then some.

There is an old saying...."You don't want to be the richest man in the Graveyard."

Took her out for a ride 60 today and sunny. Should be 70 tomorrow. Also tested out the new brakes work great.

This by far has been the crappiest mid-April weekend I can ever recall and the worst part about it, is that the forecast is calling for my precipitation all day and going into tomorrow with falling temps below 32 degrees freezing, so you know that means a ton of more salt is coming as everything is going to ice over!

On a positive note this will all stop and melt soon and will be very short lived, and despite the fresh salt that's sure to come, one good rain after that will wash away all the snow, and we are back in business as we start headed into the back half of April and inching closer to May.

Like I said, July 4th!!

We got an ice storm yesterday (between Sat and Sun). Threats of snow today, and even on Thursday. Looks to finally be spring starting Friday, but who knows. At this point I'm skeptical of spring.

Need a new thread; Just xx days until July 4th, the start of.........."

Getting an inch of snow in mid-April has happened before (but not alot). This will all be melted by the afternoon and with fresh rain on its way this Weds., your baby will be out next weekend with salt free roads if you want it to be).

That being said this is by far the worst spring that I can remember in the last 10 years.

It's the Polar Vortex's fault. Stupid cold air.

Finally something we completely agree on!!

I blame Skilling

He's such an easy target!!!

Talking more snow tomorrow

LT1 Z51

We got a 1/2 last night. And there is now more salt. More snow coming Wednesday Night.

This is literally the worst winter in 10 years, I got my C6 in 2008, sold it in 2015 and bought my C7 in April of 2016, and I cannot remember an April where I drove my Corvette so little.

This is frankly absolutely ridiculous. My Florida friends told me to stop complaining and move, I told them I'd complain more if I got hit by a hurricane like they do. Regardless I need to see temperatures in the 60's semi-regularly in May or else I'm going to lose my freaking mind....

I think the cumulative effect of winter kicks in. I bike commute and will do so in pretty cold temps but all of a sudden
I can't stand it. Or maybe getting a close look at all that salt is bumming me.

Mopar Jimmy

Yeah 30 degrees on April 17 and 30s tomorrow (with another 1 inch of snow with more fresh salt ) on April 18th makes this the worst spring by far that I ever recall. This is what happens in late Feb early March.

I could deal with the colder temps as long as the roads are salt free but the kicker is with fresh snow and SALT coming on Weds., and then with temps. warming up after that into the 50s and 60s, there is no rain in the forecast (for now) to wash away all this FREAKING salt. So most of us will be stuck with our winter vehicles next week even though the temps finally get out of the 30s (probably for good), b/c of all the FREAKING fresh salt from the dusting of snow we got yesterday and up to 1 inch on Weds.

This should of been rain and not snow (b/c freezing temps in mid-April is unheard of) and if it was rain we would have been good to go with all are fun cars! We just need some rain now after what most likely will be the last winter event on Weds. Hang in their Chicagoland guys we are almost home free. For our friends here up in Michigan and WI, I really feel for you guys, b/c you guys continue to get hammered with way more winter events and larger accumulations of snow that stick around then us down here in Illinois.

Thank GOD for my Rustang b/c I will drive her with salt powder on the street and without my 2016 Mustang GT I would REALLY be losing my mind by now!

this according to the weather guy this will go in the records as one of the coldest April in years that being said just another reason to move out of this god forsaken state . I'm going to Florida in June looks like Ill have to just to get some warm weather . I predict a cooler then normal summer with one hot week near the 4th of July . global warming my azz I told Deb red to stay in Florida till May but she came home to the great white north know as Michigan !

Mopar Jimmy

Johnny, I hate EVERYTHING about Illinois from the weather, taxes, crook county, ugly flat farm land, I can go on and on and on. The ONLY thing I like are the great restaurants but that certainly is not keeping me here (and that conceal/carry passed which I never thought would happen). I would rather live in any other state except Iowa. Lol. If it wasan't for family and career I would move out of here and head south (FLA) or southwest AZ) so fast it would make your had spin.

Carvin

It was supposed to have snowed for hours by now. Looks like it will stay above freezing all night.
