My Corvette(s): '04 CE LeMans Blue Coupe, 1978 Pace Car | Went topless today!
65 degrees and sunny in Kansas City today - no wind at all, just a beautiful day. Very unseasonable for this time of year. I couldn't help myself, and took the glass top off for the first time. Cruised around my home town of Liberty - my God does it get any better than this? Finally passed another Corvette... I waved but he never even looked my way. I wasn't the only one out today, lots of convertibles driving around with the tops down as well. What a way to end the year!

It's supposed to be like that tomorrow and Sunday in the Mid Atlantic. It's coming our way and I can't wait to drop the top.

Thought about it today. It topped off at 54 degrees today. I went for a long drive and it felt great. Maybe tomorrow I will pop the top.

My Corvette(s): 1962 CORVETTE | Not The 62 But...............
I did cruise on the Harley for a couple hours. Tomorrow it's supposed to hit 60, perfect timing, I'm doing a charity run with a few hundred other bikes. Nice break for this time of year, I'll take all I can get until spring. | |

I called my friend today and asked her if she wanted to go riding around topless and I think she got the wrong idea...

Ditto for us also. Last day of the year, blue sky & 70 degrees in OKC, OK. Had to drive the vert with the top down. Can't believe the weather.

I tried to take the tops off today (75F and sunny) but the 'vette was too damn noisey! Why on earth did I install that god's forsaken chambered exhaust system?! Oh, my aching head!
One of my models had it worse then me though--she crashed out at my house and snacked on some of the left over 3-bean-scare-the-pants-off-a-Mexican chili my mom brought over to the house 4 days ago. Yep, not the thing to be snacking on at 3 am. Poor girl.

Well, it was threatening rain today, so I left the top on, but what a glorious drive up Mulhulland Drive it was! It was like a mobile car show! Vettes, Porches, Ferraris, and a bunch of vintage sports cars, including a '30's Bentley! And everybody was waving! God, I love driving this car!

Had my 84 out for a cruise today. Was 50 here in NH. May even get it out again tomorrow. Nice to have weather like this in January. Makes the winter more bearable.
