What, you guys don't think having an IROC Z28 in Beverly Hills is like living in another state?

I sure do...I have been pulled over by the BHPD for driving a Camaro. One time they stopped me for a burned out headlight - after showing him my license, which shows I live in Beverly Hills, I showed him the new headlight on the seat next to me, said I was on my way home and would be changing it in the morning. He said no problem. I asked him if he was pulling me over for the burned out light to check me out, you know, run me for warrants, etc. He just smiled and told me to have a good night.

Good thing I'm white and live in Beverly Hills. If I were a minority and lived elsewhere, I am sure my night would have been less pleasant.

It's surprising to me that all of the 'verts are in the East. Your car is an eastern 'vert too Rob!

Right... I think you need to open a window in the cabin to let in some fresh air. The fumes from the heater seems to be getting to you.

Ottawa Weather for December.

Ive driven it in the high 30's with the top down. I got pulled over because the cop thought I was on drugs. I just told him that I just got the car and I couldnt wait till spring to drive it with the top down. He let me go.

I actually saw a guy do that in 14 degree weather. I was headed to the Detroit Auto Show in January and it was literally 14 degrees. Guy was driving a Jeep YJ.

Another Easterner in here...I think us easterners just understand how nice it is to drop that top in the spring/summer/fall months and we appreciate it a bit more just knowing that the day will come where we have to leave our tops up...but don't quote me on it.

East Coast

As much as I like driving mine, I have to put it in storage from October through April. Keeps the snow and salt off of it. By the time April/May rolls around I am more than ready to wake my car up from it's hibernation.

Then again, it doesn't really start warming up until June.........

I just signed up.

I also was riding around topless again today. Don't believe me? Go to WWW.WALB.COM and look at the weather links.

The high today was 66.
The next four days = 69, 67, 73, 67...

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle All the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in my Drop Top Cheverolet!
