Back On The Road Again

Took the Vette out of winter storage today!
Always a great feeling after months of winter hibernation.
All the electronic & mechanical gizmos worked perfectly:
* radio presets unchanged
* TP sensors worked perfectly
* NAV system remembered my home address
* XM radio remembered preset stations (didn't even have to re-activate service).
* All memory systems unchanged
* keyless door locks, and ignition

No runs, drips, or errors, even after having the battery disconnected during storage.

50 happy miles!

I've only wakened the beast once since Thanksgiving ... end of Jan. It's had to wait behind some family needs that need attention. But it's on the tender and ready ...
Enjoy the miles and smiles

How sad to be deprived of such joy at any time of the year. Yesterday at Road Atlanta there were at least ten Z06's at the Peachtree BMW Club DE event and temps were in the 80's!
