Hey GTG gang!
With all this rain and crappy weather we've been getting I thought I'd check in and see you guys and your garage queens were doing? Itchy gas pedal feet? Hope it clears up soon so you can pull them out.

Mine's outside in the rain enjoying fall.......

No garage queen here. Been driving the Z06 almost daily. It does not melt in the rain but it sure gets dirty.

i'm still here too. my car has been sitting for over a month now in the garage, of course. why? i'm not really sure. i guess it's that whole "i don't like to drive it when it's dirty and i'm not motivated enough to wash it every time i drive it" thing.
the holidays are almost upon us. hope everyone has a safe holiday season.

My Z is practically my daily driver, although I'm digging into my '72 POS Chevy Pickup this weekend to get it ready for snow.

Haven't been on the forum much - my team is now down to 2 from 7...so it's been a lot of late nights :/

Mines been down since may. Nothing bad, but damn sure can't find the time to get out and work on it. The nose and LF fender are gone, no radiator, needs the wide band wired up, the header install finished, etc.

The last time I had the '62 out was Wednesday November 4th when it was an unheard of sunny day and 74 degrees . Broke a 40 year old record.

16 days later we are looking at snow & freezing temperatures!

Mine has been sitting in the garage for about a week.

It is still very dirty from prior driving in the rain.

I was hoping to wash it this weekend.

Hi all.

Haven't been on the CF for a while, thought I'd check it out today.

My Z is reposing in a nice warm garage. I'll pull it out for the late Feb CMCS Wet Weekend and then drive it off and on until Fall 2011.

A buddy and I took our Z's out to Pacific 2 weekends ago. It never did stop raining.

A few other vettes showed up after lunch, A yellow C5Z, another silver C5Z and a C6Z came out that I remember. The yellow C5Z was on Hoosier's I felt bad for him.
