Didn't your mom tell you it's rude to gloat? Sometimes, I have to wait a day or two to drive, and hearing stories like this is just plain mean.

That's not nice rubbing in your warm weather on those northern folks who have been watching their corvettes sit inside their garage. But since you mentioned it, I had my roof off yesterday, it was 82 degs. That little ground hog said we have 6 more months of winter, in FL we haven't had the first six months of winter. Been nice so far this year.

This car has never been driven with the top up.
Get a lot of funny looks when it is 37 degrees outside, you just run the heater on full blast with a hat, and jacket on. 🤓

Florida is my happy place! My wife and I just got back from 4 days in Fort Myers (and we also spent time in Siesta Key and Marco Island) and we were also in Cape Coral for 7 days during the Christmas holidays. It's awesome to see how many Corvettes are out and about down there, and I can't wait to start spending my winters down there and bringing my Corvette with me (in five years time when we retire I will also have traded my C6 for a C7, making it even more fun for me down there!) I'm still not sure exactly where we're going to be in Florida when we retire, but it will definitely be on the Gulf side, anywhere from Sarasota to Marco Island. It really does have ideal weather there during the winter months, you gotta love the endless sunshine and 75-85 degree temps!

I've had to keep the top on since the damn palm tree pollen gets inside the car this time of year. Just miserable.
