You bet! Woke mine up Wednesday night and took her for a ride prior to the last storm. Have plans to take her to work to Wednesday after a quick (I hope) stop on the dealership for a coolant flush.

Which dealership are you going to?Ayers. They're about 5 minutes from my house. To date, they've only done two oil changes for me. I plan to talk to the tech to ensure he's putting in the correct mix of Dexcol and water. Also, I want to plead with him to be careful.

Thanks! If and when I need a dealer I was thinking about Gearhart. They did some warranty work on my ’00 Monte Carlo and they seemed competent enough.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet but did do some research. Robbies (in Dover) is a very very good shop. I can drop ship the tires from TireRack and have Robbies mount and balance. But, Robbie wants $70 per tire for mount and balance! So the Robbie's total is about $1700. My other choice is Birch Tire on Rt 46 in Randolph. $1440 for tires, mount, and balance. Decisions...Decisions...Decisions.. I know Robbie's (they did some body work on a few on my other cars over the years) and can most likely get the owner (Robbie himself) to do the job. I don't know Birch other than to say they were polite on the phone, returned my call promptly and knew how **** most vette owners are about their car.

Stretch Your Legs!
I hope all of you guys who are waking up your rides are planning on coming down to the Charity Poker Run on April 9th! It'll be a good chance to get together with a bunch of other Vette Owners and work out those winter-time blues!
