Today the 16th of March was an awesome day for me
as today it was 42 degrees (F) (finally above freezing and not snowing) and dry
and only 4 days until “Mud”. Yes I said Mud... Spring to most folks but here in
Central New York we have Summer, Fall, Winter than Mud! Reason, with all the
snow melting and rainy weather as the temperature warms we exist in a ground
saturated with water and a muddy world and then all of a sudden it's Summer no slow warm up season! But
what made today awesome was today is the first time since September 30th
(over 5 months) of last year that I finally un-covered my 95 coupe, checked all the
fluids, disconnected the battery minder, sat in the cockpit, inserted the key and
made that awesome 350 beast come to life. It was so exciting just to back it
out of the garage and sit there and listen to my vette resonate that deep throaty
sound that I haven’t heard in months. What a feeling. I wanted to yell “I’ts Alive…I’ts
Alive” but I controlled myself as I am conservative. Now I know a lot of you
have been driving your cars but for us in the north and north east it’s been a
very, very long winter. Just wanted to pass this along and maybe hear if
any other member has brought their vette out of “winter hibernation” yet. Can’t
wait to start enjoying the summer of 2015.
