Default Hello from Ohio!.....

Hi gang,

Just wanted to say hi and wish everyone a happy holiday. A new vette owner and after driving it 15 hrs non-stop from Florida... now has the fevor..lol. I hadn't done that since the drug days of the 70's...but was very comfortable and the miles melted away.... amazing....

Married 20 yrs (yikes!..where did time go?) with two kiddos, two motorcycles, and now this toy.

Gee..ya think mid-life crisis has hit?....or did I just never grow up?..hmmm..... I vote kid...

take care all,

lakecat

Welcome from a fellow (displaced) Buckeye

BTW, do those things get in the way when you hit off the tee?

Welcome from a former OH-10 guy. I moved west to Colo due to the weather/lake effect. I still get back 1-2 times a year. To see friends.

Just bought an 07, C-6, and have been on the site only a couple of months.

Now that I own one here, I wouldn't have to put it away in the winter.

Enjoy!!

Good luck on Jan. 8.

To another poster: I remember enough geography from growing up around Willoughby that 1 hour north of Cleveland will put you in Canada, not Ashtabula.

Well...look at last week and now this week.....it's usually gone in Denver area in a couple days unless it's like we have now, then a week or 10 days. I have 3 ' in my back yard now. Unusual for us, but it doesn't stay around like Ohio usually does.
