I'll need my floor-mats and cargo cover returned in that case Mr. Bimmerbimmer...

Awesome Dan, enjoy your retirement and new life in Warm Sunny AZ (I'm jealous, I hate IL)!

Smart man, you don't want to be bored after all. If one the Mega Millions I would still work 30 hours a week working somewhere that I am passionate about like selling cool cars or firearms, etc.

Best of luck to you Dan, GOD Bless!

Awesome my friend, awesome! I love seeing pure high performance car enthusiasts driving and enjoying their cars as much as possible like you do! This life is WAY to short to be concerned about how many miles you put on your fun car or freaking out if you get a little rock chip on the front bumper, like a lot of car enthusiasts do, who just end up saving the car for the next guy!

April has been turning out to be an awesome April with some great weather days like this weekend and today, ENJOY man and be safe!

Allen Park, Ottawa, IL on the Illinois River. They have been saying snow all week. I refused to believe it but it looks like it is coming so I took a cruise.

Very nice smart man Carvin, enjoy that C7 Z06 of yours all you can. Well bad news is that it looks like we will get about 2.5 inches in snow in the end of April in the West Suburbs here in Chicagoland. BUT, no big deal, it will be all melted by 1 pm tomorrow, Sunday, as the sun will be out all day and we will inch towards a balmy 50 degrees. : ) Any fresh salt that may bet put down, and in won't be much, will be washed away but this wet snow melting and with all the rain in the forecast during the work week.

Just watched the weather. Possibility of up to 3.5" of rain by Thursday. That should really wash the salt away.

I only have my Corvette right now (Focus should be sold tomorrow), so I've been driving it even in the bad weather. No salt here since late March, but I've got 2500 miles on it already this year!
