Tucked safely away in the garage. Crap weather here now until March/April.

Bummer but that's the way it is. Boo Hoo.

Vette(s): 1995 Coupe (black)
Mine is sitting in the garage connected to a Battery Tender waiting for the occassional sunny day this winter when I can drive it.  When the streets are slushy, I leave it in and when they are clear and dry I take it out, cold weather or not.  No garage queen here!

I drove mine to work on Monday Dec. 30th. But it usually sits waiting for sunny days in the garage. I need to clean/rearrange the garage so that IF I get all four cars home and healthy at one time...... ;-)

Wow kadl18 how did you get asked to have your C4 added on display in a museum?  Is that just a short term exhibit for the Corvettes?  I was just looking over the website http://speyer.technik-museum.de/en and I have to say I'm jealous as that is an amazing place!  They have vintage cars, firetrucks, a mega collection of aviation history including a space orbiter and  even a 747 jumbo jet, and large maritime collection including a u-boat submarine!  My next trip overseas will definitely include that place!  Having your C4 Corvette inside there is quite an honor.

Hi again!

Thank you for your comment, epohdivad! Here in the land of Porsche a Corvette is always an eyecatcherCool    
Most of the Vette drivers are organised in clubs or at least in the german speaking www.corvetteforum.de
As my 94 is in pristine conditon with only 18 kmls on it, i was asked by JR a well known forum member if i would
like to give my C4 from October til April to technik museum Speyer. If you plan to visit Germany, you should
also visit the sister museum http://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/en located just 20 miles away from SpeyerThumbs Up  

Best Regards from Germany
Thomas (kadl18)

Been driving our C4s all winter, even in the rain we've occasionally gotten.  Despite California's political downfalls (in my view,) the weather is fantastic.  Although I miss the east coast sometimes, I don't miss shoveling snow and having my driving choices limited.  I hope you folks in the less temperate areas have been able to enjoy your cars at least on occasion this winter.

Vette(s): 1996 Collector Edition Coupe, Black Interior, GranSport Wheels. Previous Corvettes: 1972 LT-1 Black (original color Steel Cities Gray) Convertible with both tops, 1977 L-48 Black on Black t-top.
Mine has been sitting on a battery tender since Dec 11th when I had foot surgery and finally started her last evening.  Can't wait to drive.  We still have about 3" of snow on the ground and expecting 2-4 again tonight.  Temps supposed to be in the 40-50 range next week maybe get a chance soon.

Following closely the sinkhole problem at the museum recently. Sure hope they retrieve all those gorgeous cars and fix up the museum soon.
