10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

Well, as most of you have heard by now, we got hit by a freak blizzard here last week. Shut the whole city down for a better part of 5 days... a lot of the side roads are still completely treacherous with ice etc.

So, I had to park the Vette the Friday before last, and haven't driven it since.

Yesterday, I went into the garage, started her up and made vrooom vrooom sounds in the cockpit for twenty minutes or so... but, alas, the shakes are still here.

Next on the ToDo list: Move to Costa Rica.

At least you can start yours,[&o] all I can do is stare at the 454 and drool.[:o] The day will come though, then Watch Out.;)

Jeez, bro, I've been without mine for 10 days and look at me.... my wife is lookin' into a 12 step program for me this afternoon... I have no clue how you remain so calm in such times...... :D:D:D

RE: 10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

You have no idea how calm, I'm not!:D As you well know, ah been waitin' for months now.[&:] I had to nail one shoe to the floor, to keep from runnin' around the block like a crazy man. I just make smaller circles now, and none of the neigbors know what's goin' on.:D

RE: 10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

Hey T.S.,
So glad you and yours are all safe and sound. :)
Snow and ice, [:'(] I can't even imagine.
Around these parts, just a little rain and a lot of people go looking for Prozac. [:o]

Take care, stay safe.

p.s. All your friends on the forum were having a grand ole time just imagining what you and Mrs. T.S. were doing to beat the boredom. But I think we better declare this [sm=closed.gif]

Goin through the same crap in colorado. I had to break out the 240sx for 3 days, man I hate the cold and crappy colorado.

RE: 10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

Man
that would be hard to deal with. Not being able to drive because of the weather.
Just been real cold here, with freezing temps for the past 2 weeks.
The only sacrifice we have to make here is to put the top up when we take her out. :D

RE: 10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

There's a funny mental image!!!:D:D:DYou crack me up, dude!

:D:DWith my luck, I'd drop the tranny..... lil' bits and pieces all OVER the parking lot.....

Bwaaaaaaaaahahahaha!!! *thumps on desk* Usually, I'd say "film at 11:00", but in this case I think we'll forgo all that..... you totally made me roar out loud there, Rita!! *hi5's Rita*

You like me? Shakes set in, followed by mumblin' and wanderin' around like a lost puppy??? Talk about the fastest way to insanity!! :D:D:D

Yeh, thanks Rich. :D:D:D:D:D:DThanks for pointin' that out... or should I say... pourin' salt over an open wound..... :D:D:D;)

RE: 10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

Well, I got her out today!!! And thanks be to God for that. I still have some small tremors in my hands here; residual withdrawal I suspect.... but I'll be OK.

I totally remember the day we picked up ours, and the few days leading up to it... ooooh boy, can I relate to your pain, my friend! Knock yourself out with a couple stiff shots of JD, and it'll be tomorrow before you know it!! ;):D

RE: 10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

I must admit ever since purchasing a second vehicle I don't drive the Vette as much, but when I do, it makes me appreicate it that much more...So when you do get back behind the wheel its going to be a blast.

RE: 10 days since I've driven the Vette; starting to shake
 

Thanks, my friend, you are right!! I've been "back in the saddle" so to speak on my second day here now; said to Mrs. TopSpeed last night "It was just like the day we picked her up again; brand new to me!!!"

The shakes have stopped, and I'm feelin' much better now. :D
