That'd be awesome to have a place like that around here. Then, I could pull my wife's car in during the winter and stop having to brush the darn thing off.

Check out this place. I've been to the one outside Minneapolis a few times. Not cheap but an awesome place. A huge investment in capital to build the place...

Why is your side of the road completely void of cars and there is solid traffic going the other way? Some type of respect for being brave enough to weather the storm in a Viper?

I'm still on the fence with the new Vette design. I have observed that some color combinations really work well with the design and some seem to accentuate all the elements I don't care for. Too many sharp lines and the colors that pull those lines out make the car look like a matchbox toy (to me). It appears they have tried to mix elements of the front end of the early C3 design with the C2 with limited success. Performance-wise the thing does rock for the money. I've always thought the C6 Corvette was the best bang for the buck. The C7 is no different.

Sticky note on the steering wheel. Would be hard to forget with a reminder staring you in the face when you get in the car.

I do exactly the same thing.

I use a battery tender on all my cars and have never had a problem. You'll want to get a trickle charger that has an automatic shut-off that doesn't overcharge the battery. Most of the auto parts stores sell them and I am not sure that any one is really all that much better than the others. I bought my most recent at O'Reilly's. Battery Tender is probably the most recognizable (and most expensive) brand. I purchased the Schumacher for about 1/2 the price of a Battery Tender.

If your garage doesn't have an outlet but does have an overhead light fixture you can purchase one of those socket outlet adapters that screw into the bulb socket, has 1-2 outlets and still allows you to screw in the bulb.
