Yesterday, November 18, the year of our Lord 2003, a grey 1973 C3 with sidepipes. |cheers| A C3 sighting is pretty rare these gloomy days of mid-autumn here in Southwestern Pa. Most C3s are usually sleeping by now...

Winter storage? |headscratch|
Cold, snow, nasty weather? |headscratch|
Park your vette? Don't drive it until April? |headscratch|
Sorry, I simply don't understand that concept! |haha|

Heck, with the heat coming from the floorboards on a C3 coupe, this is the best time to drive. |haha| The only time my "sweetheart" gets a for sure rest, is when it's raining outside.

I put mine to bed a couple a days ago. |frown| I cleaned her up a bit and put her up on dollies. Kind of depressing. But on the brighter side of things...I'm looking forward to the day (about 5 months) that I will be sending her off to the body shop. Gotta put some shine back into that curvy body. |biggrin|

I made the mistake of putting mine away last weekend, well it was in the 60's today here, could have been a nice day or eveing for a ride, but high of low 40's for tomorrow and possible accumulation for the weekend. Maybe I only missed 1 good day...........

Why would you park them….Oh I forgot, that white stuff…. Snow here means you’re having trouble watching the longhorns play on TV, winter only hits your forearm as you’re reaching for a cold one….

San Antonio forecast for Friday:

Sunny, high of 78 degrees

Sorry,
Rick
