I drove slowly on it about 30 mph and only slid once stopping at a light. I hope to never do that again.

Now I need to let it dry up outside and take the Camaro to the dealer for an oil change and and to look at the top as I think the 5th bow broke on this trip. I used the top anyway as it looks better down than up now. If they can fix it soon I will do it otherwise it will be brought home cleaned completely and go under the cover for the winter and I will have the top fixed or replaced in the spring. It is now safely in the garage where it will stay till this melts and dries up. The winter Escape is now gassed up and ready for my wifes use. I am happy to be home but miss the Florida weather already.

Sounds like you had a great trip! Hope the 5th bow can be fixed soon before even more snow comes.

It just depends on the kind of winter we have. But at least I don't have to put her on a trickle charger. Sorry guys. :(
That's what I did 3 years ago.

It's amazing what a Camaro can do. Get us from point A to point B, relieves stress, and provides therapy.

Sorry you had an awful 4 day weekend.
