I'm not doing squatch to mine. I'm saving for my brand new, fully loaded, jet black C6Z with polished wheels. In the meantime, I'm content bringing up the rear...

If you didn't get out today your loss! Saw a yellow C6Z eastbound on C470 near Chatfield around 11:00 AM. Sweet ride, lowered with after market wheels.

It was great driving the Z today. Too bad I'm sittin' in my office now playing catch up.

I'm still trying to get mine out. All the streets are melted up to about 7 to 8 eight houses in each direction on my street. As of today, the ice is still about 6 inches thick with huge ruts and potholes! AAAAGGHH!

That's my street too!
I can go down my driveway and that is it, if I attempt the street, I will high center in front of my house! I have never ever gone this long without driving it, since I bought it! Every time it seems like i am finally going to be able to get out, it snows again!

It has been pure hell for me. My car is almost done, but the weather is holding it up If there is a strech of mid 40s, I could take her home.

Wow! The sun is out.
Just started up the vette and sat in her for 10 minutes and listened to that beautiful engine sound.
4-5 more days of this and I might try to get down the driveway and navigate the craters on my road. Actually, getting down the drive is not the problem, its getting up of course. And the side road still gives my 4Runner a work out. I've never seen my 4Runners traction control light this much ever.
Did the groundhog predict an early spring? It's got to turn better sometime.

Well the sun may be out, but so are the unbelievable number of pot holes from hell.

From the damage I've sustained on my Oldsmobile from one of those moon crators, I'll be keeping the Vette in hibernation for a while.

my accountant is letting me order the last of the parts to finish the rebuild of my QJet. soon I might be able to at least start it up. There is still at least 4" of ice on my side street.

my neighbor and I were out chipping and digging for a while yesterday.
