58* in Metro Detroit today - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I enjoyed my 30 mile cruise home today with the windows down. I've only had the car since November 30th so this was my first "warm weather" drive. Now I really miss the t-tops on my 1994.

Just wanted to rub it in for all you northerners who are too scared to enjoy their car during the winter months.

drove my car all day too! probably will be driving it the rest of the week too... have you been to one of our D5GCC meetings yet? if not our 1st one is on friday at O'Tooles in waterford... 7PM lots of people will most likely have their 5th Gens there and a cone/roped off section to keep our cars safe.

Nice on this side of the sate also, but I drove my truck. lol

Well hell yeah! I took my ride out, and cruised up to Rodgers chevrolet to give Becky a visit. Well ok i picked up a RJT engine cover, and dropped Becky off a strawberry smoothie. The day was beautiful for Michigan, one of my favorite winters ever! Hope this shhht keeps up.

I haven't yet. Since I own and run the Michigan FBody Association, I just don't have much time to be in clubs too.

But next time you guys have one at the Aspen restaurant or around there I'll definitely try to swing by and say hi.

Nick0s · 01-31-2012, 07:42 PM

I missed the entire day of it, working in bunker-like building. I tried to find excuse to take a ride but no go :(

fmcooper · 01-31-2012, 08:43 PM

I was planning to drop the top on the ride home, but got stuck in a meeting and ended up driving home later after dark :( I hope spring comes soon!!!

skinman · 01-31-2012, 08:53 PM

We are having "top down" weather here, too. It was 71 degrees today. That's CRAZY for this time of year, but I'm enjoying every minute of it!!

45 Degrees is my cut off for Top up vs Top down... Never too scared, just never tired of washing salt off of it.

i remember walking out of my class and thinking the same thing. its was great weather today. i didn't drive my camaro though. didn't realize how good the weather until i was already out.

AlohaBR · 02-01-2012, 08:49 AM

Drive it everyday, what an AWESOME car.
Warm weather just adds to it!

dtodd6012 · 02-01-2012, 11:17 AM

Almost dropped my top yesterday also heading home but the roads were to wet in Sterling Heights and didn't want to get the interior covered in a nice glaze. The weather is looking pretty good for the duration of the week though so, fingers crossed! ... now if I only had a good place to hand wash the car, she's only a few weeks old and still havn't found a good place to wax it - its killing me.
