I should be driving a vette by then. Sorry, but I always wanted one. The one I found is not the "ultimate" one for me,
but its low mileage and has been someone's garage-queen - - so I feel like its a great starting point.

If you promise not to shun me I'll probably park near y'all. PS: let me know if you know about vettes cause I got some learning to do fast since I want to R&R all the fluids ASAP just like I did with the S2000 when I got it.

Also, I don't think my 5-layer car cover from the S2000 is gonna fit the vette, so I'll bring it in case someone wants a deal. If you want it before Tuesday's snow, let me know ASAP and I can probably meet there on short notice to make the exchange. Snow is a coming!
No problem, I know a couple of the Vette club guys and I am sure if you just walk up and ask they will be more then willing to help.

Of course you need to get a set of at least four fold up chairs and a pop up awning in the trunk. Ooo and you can't go on drives you now have to go on "cruises" .

This is to easy!!!

Ha! 5" of snow forecasted today and I finally have a vette!

If I drive in snow in reverse is it the same as front wheel drive?

I'll probably there as long as it's half decent weather, I want someone to maybe test drive my '03 to get some input on a torque steer issue. Tire pressures are matched side to side, could be a soft bushing in a rear link.

If anyone has a suggestion for an upgrade for the stock black radio cover that I could look at that would be great too, the interior is fine, but I think that would help the looks

Gotta love those LS engines, lotsa torque and good linear power band.

How are the roads right now? I've been in Tampa all week for work.

Depending on how the roads are, I may or may not go. Not too excited about driving on errant patches of ice.

still some packed snow on the back roads, but it's finally over freezing so it's clearing up quickly

Roads should be fine Saturday morning. Gonna be way over freezing Friday, and heck this morning most roads were dry already.

I'm gonna try to bring my new ride out for this one


90% chance I'm there. Weather looks good and I know that I won't be able to attend March or April's events.

Brett, is that location you highlighted the lot closer to Tryon Road, or is it the further one? I cannot tell from that photo. a new parking lot previously unused by Cars & Coffee?
