Hey, New to Vette world here, I have been out for a few Sundays now when weather has been good and have seen a yellow and silver Vette pass me on King road, Bathurst area , not sure if it was you, but if the weather is good I will be out for a run. ( does not look like it"s gonna happen though )

I've had mine out in the last week and yesterday just locally but loving it, but I noticed this morning that they threw salt on my street so that means I'm out until there's a good rain again. Damn

Holy $%@&!! They dumped the DEAD SEA's worth of salt on the roads here in Vaughan. This is bloody Rediculous.

That was NOT necessary. If they wanted to put a bit, ok, but I swear they put several months worth at once. Let me guess, "use it or lose it" typical government mentality so they keep their budget for salt for next season. What a waste and this will take several good rainfalls to wash off.

We went from a mild winter to the winter that keeps on giving...... And yes, awoke to the sound of the salt truck this morning.

Yes the roads are covered in thawrox (blue coated salt) here also. They lay it down heavy so it melts any snow that may fall during the day/night with hopes that they do not need to go back out. The whole week does not look good.

Just came back from Ajax -401-dvp-Adelaide-spadina-Gardner-dvp-401-Ajax run. Not too bad, some salt on dvp but nothing crazy.

Did a Sunday HDR. Went for a cruise down Yonge to Queen's Quay. Cruised Yorkville and Queen St. Went for a hot dog and then cruised back up Yonge

Lots of people out. Didn't see any other performance cars other than a parked i8. No vettes, camaros, mustangs. Quite a few Porche SUV's though. No 911's.

Was a last minute decision Al. Was drifting snow all morning, didn't think it would let up but by 1, the sun had broke out and melted what was on the road so decided to go. And truthfully, I would have liked to have texted everyone but by the time I would hear back from some, it would have been too late to go.

I'm glad my '65 isn't ready yet but with another 8" of snow and better cold, it could be a while.....
