Ebo, Funny! I did all of the above except get to meet you. As soon as the Black Widow gets home again the passenger seat it yours! Unless you want to drive her of course! Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet but hopefully we can ride together one day soon! Thanks again for the help.,the whole process went off without a hitch! They're great to work with. Despite what my wife says....I can take direction! CYa! Jason

I've had mine out about 3 times since "putting it away". Weather here has been up and down but no salt yet. Had it out today for an hour long run as it's about 50F and sunny. Topped up the tank on the way home and a bit nore Stabil just in case it's the last run. Thursday is looking good as well this week so just maybe another run...they're calling for wet snow by Saturday.

Good lookin' out, Dave. I hope you had a good ride, too.
 
It looks like that "sad day" is coming real soon. Maybe we can hold it off a little longer.

Don't know when (or if) I'll be putting mine up.  We're in the middle of a drought here and with temps in the 60's and 70's, I don't know if we will have much winter.  Forecasters say a mild winter, so we'll just have to see.  Anyway, still get to drive for now.

Yeah, Joel, but when does your's "come down"? You only have it as a garage ornament! Next thing you know, we'll see pictures of it buried in junk! On a more serious note, it sure is hard to try to find time to do everything you want, isn't it? You're still the best, Joel!

Ok... "The Rooks" St. Louis Corvette Assembly photo trumps anything I've been able to take with my 'Vette. Nice!
 
As for the Winter, it's just another season for cruising in CA. The downside of living in California is smog-legal engines. The up side... I have to go to the mountains to see snow ~ and it's the perfect time of the year for cruising the Central Coast. Happy thanksgiving...

Well first I'd like to thank Al Gore for the outstanding weather, 58* today.
With that said....I bagged the Vette today.
We have a cold front moving in and may see some white stuff this week. It has been an unusually warm fall here in the Northeast. I'm counting on the Gore therory to have a unusually warm March!

It was in the low 60's and sunny Yesterday (for the early part of the day at least) yesterday in Indianapolis.  I took the opportunity to give the car one last wash and fill it up with some Stabil.
 
Ran out of time to cover - that will come tomorrow....

59 degrees here yesterday and sunny. Had the Vette out for a 230 mile round trip. Even had the T-tops off on the return home (heater on and windows up).  Got 14.4 US MPG or 18 MPG Imperial. Put the Vette away for good last night until next spring. Today it's 34 degrees out and there are snow squalls forming off of Lake Huron and heading our way. Amazing change in the weather. Shocked
