Not me as i have had my 02 EB Z06 out this entire friday, 2-17-05, in CHICAGO, IL, as the sun is bright, the cold air horsepower is free and most of the salt is GONE, until the next snow scheduled for sunday morning. It has always been my motto and will be, that any day i can drive my vettes and steal a day from winter is a GREAT DAY!!!

I have been adding millions of new parts. My garage is heated, so I have been busy working on her. I like the fact that I only have 28000miles on the odo. I often open the garage door and just gaze at the car. My wife thinks I am crazy.

Deffinately can't wait! I finally have got off my "Lazy Winter A$$" and started mine up a few weeks ago, charged the battery, inflated the tires.

But now spring fever is really kicking in, headers are gonna take a few weeks to get here. So I put on the STB, may even put on the UD pully this coming week. Woooo-Hoooooo!

My winter beater I really can't complain about as the heated seats in the Avalanche feel nice on the ol' tushie, on these cold Winter mornings.

The heater in this thing takes a few minutes to get going, then it will melt your eyeballs.
