Default Game Over :(

As I look out the window it is snowing like crazy and the temperature is dropping south of 32F... I called State Farm and put the C5 on hibernation coverage. It is going to be a long, cold, Vetteless winter (as usual).

Who in CNY wants to have a monthly Corvette Withdrawl Support Group meet? I am thinking of starting up after New Years Day.

Oh, and it's only 123 days until the first day of spring (but who's counting?)

I would go freaking go nuts if I couldn't drive my vette for 6 months. We just came back from a cruise outside, it was 39 near the long island sound, it was freezing but we still got to drive through the twisties of Oyster bay.

I guess I maximized this driving season. The day after I called I followed a salt truck to work in my Blazer .

After the Holidays, we can warm up at Hooter's... feel free to use your winter rat or daily driver to get there . Maybe we could have the girls pose with our daily drivers... a pool of tip money may get them to take on the challenge (without a coat) .
