You poor Vetters who have to await Spring to be sprung! We ride perennially, though hotly in Summer. Fellow Vettes are always glad to see their cousins on the road, though, so welcome back and enjoy the ride....

Just finished the annual spring wash, clay bar, scratch & swirl remover, polish and wax olympics. Took her for a long run yesterday, running great and looking good. Weather is sunny and nice, what more can I ask for?
Life is good.  |

I'm in the Rochester NY area and it was in the mid 50's today, I took the keys out of my pocket and was very close to pulling the vette. Then I saw the white tint (salt) on the road and thought the better of it. Patience - Patience

Spring fever has hit with the first "official" corvette event of the year as my corvette club was in the annual Belmar NJ St. Patricks Day parade this past weekend. Now I have the itch after a long winter.

 It's been a long winter but that picture made it all worth while.

I had thought about putting a battery tender on the car while I have it in the garage, but have just never gotten around to doing it. As far as pumping the brakes goes, everytime I start it a move the car out of the garage to do it, so I think I have this covered.

personally i see nothing wrong with starting it and letting it run. IMO it keeps things from getting dried out. there are 2 other things that i would do. 1st is to keep the battery charged as letting it go dead can kill it and 2nd (this i heard and does make a lot of sense) is to pump the brake pedal about once a month in down time so the seals don't dry out or "glue" themselves in place.

my only question would be when is it coming? should be glad the car is getting held up in the body shop as that is helping keep the urge to get in and drive it anyway idea away. also good is that it is out of the weather.

Wow, spring fever has taken on a whole new meaning this year. I bought my 92 vette the end of August last year and I can't wait to get the cover off and get back out cruising. Just to remind us upstate New Yorkers that winter is not over, we got over a foot and a half of snow between Friday and Saturday afternoon. Oh well spring is coming.
