Vette(s): 1976 Brown with Buckskin Interior. I bought her on 9/15/03 and just received it on OCT 1st 2003!! It needs interior work, and some things under the hood, but I am so excited! Just waiting for Summer of 2004 to totally show it off.
My vet is sitting outside with a cover on ofcourse and it's freezing outside. I am just bored to death with the ice cold weather and I want SUMMER to be here!!!! Summer Summer where are you???? |eek|

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
I keep knocking the snow off of the car cover. It just seem to satisfy. I'll settle for spring!

Suzanne,

No kidding!

I'm in Massachusetts, and I couldn't take it anymore. So last Saturday I started her up and took her down the street. I was only out for 10 minutes or so, but it was great!!!!
I did have to clean her for quite awhile after though.

Bring on the warm weather |toungecool|

Suzanne, I'm with you! I'm up the road from you in Frederick, and this weather really sucks, even for a winter in this area! My only saving grace is I just had a new garage built and all my cars are now parked indoors clean, dry and safe from the weather.

Overall we've had a pretty mild winter (by Minnesota standards anyway), but it was -6 at the bus stop the other morning. I'm ready for spring also...!!!

(btw - it was -43 that same morning up on the Iron Range in Northern Minnesota - about a 4 hour drive away!)

Vette(s): ...
In New York it has been under 32F for over 50 days in row. and the lowest it has been is -18f in Central Ny, up north it has been -32F and the windchill up there made it -40 and here -25, but Ian is in the garage under a cover as is my bike. but I've had to clear snow off him where it blew in between the doors. My garage still has the original swing doors. At least my snowblower is working fine to clear of all the snow we have been getting since the temp has gone up into the high 20's, make way for summer!

Less than 2 weeks ago I had my 75 out with the tops off in Southern Maryland.

Bit brutal but it was totally worth the fun. No heat!
