It was bad enough to total a car I didn't care all that much about by driving it in the snow... I'm not gonna risk it with one I do care about.

We didn't get any white stuff here in Spanaway, and all clear going to work in Renton. The forecast shows clear for the next few days with temps approaching 50. All next week looks good too! A nice change after all the sloppy rain...

Yeah this vette is a toy, not a daily driver. Don't y'all have motorcycles or convertibles that only come out in clear weather? I have a beater Z24 for the off season and an H2 for the heavy duty jobs.

I play with my toys year round I figure that's what soap and water are for, lol! Nice thing about up here is I can go boating year round, which is really fun to call dad who's back in Ohio from the boat in January or February, haha! I will admit that since I have a 4x4 truck I do take it out in adverse weather conditions nowadays, but the T/A has seen more snow that I ever thought it would. Cheers!

Well it's not sunny, but at least not raining either. I drove the vette to work and was like this all morning:

It's too cold to have any fun, but tried a little and enjoyed being sideways at 75mph. Next week looks pretty good for some sunshine!

Haha yeah my friend and I both washed our cars, and we though it would be hilarious to drive around with the tops down and the heat blasting. Lets just say we got a couple of funny looks... It was hilarious.
