Vette(s): Purchased a 1986 Convert August 2013, Bright Red color with a black top, it'd already received a Tremec 5 speed upgrade along with a disc upgrade prior to purchase.
Got mine out 2 weekends ago.  Had it out a couple of times this last weekend, pure job.  Of course they're saying we may have snow again this week  Cry
 
Really had to test it out as I'd had the instrument cluster repaired about 2 months ago  Wink
 
Almost forgot how good it is to get behind the wheel - seems like it's been forever since I  had last driven it.

Got mine out of the garage and into the driveway a few weekends ago to let it warm up and stir all the fluids around.  Sure was great to hear it running again.  Planned on actually taking it out onto the roads this weekend, but today it is snowing again.
Maybe next weekend.

They're talking snow again today.  This winter just seems to be dragging along.

Dragging on it is. We've had cold temps the last few nights (about 10 to 15*F) but thankfully no snow.
Went to see my baby this noon for the first time since November. Had her on a trickle charger and she fired right up without a hiccup.
Can't wait to get her out early April and reacquaint myself with one fine ride.
Sure is nice to see at least some spring type weather.
 Hope your dash repair is working out as expected.
C.

C'mon Paul,
  Haven't you heard?  This is the
warmest/Driest winter EVER.  The idiots at the weather channel forgot to
look outside this year.

I pulled the cover off of mine this past week. Finally some good weather in VA. Really looking forward to taking the top off and running around in the sun shine.

Looks like potentially next week I'll have it out with the top down  Clap

Vette(s): 1988 Convertable

Today I got my first little taste of the season. The temp. was hovering around the 50 degree mark, rain the last couple of days has washed away the salt....... so I headed over to my sons place to borrow his hoist. He is just a short distance from me. Got "old yeller" greased and changed the oil, fill the tank with some fresh juice. Then did a few laps around our small town. Felt nice, won't be long now until the top comes down and we can really start enjoying the old girl once more. smile emoticon
