Why do people call me crazy for driving my vette all year round. Just because we just got 15 + inches of snow? Hey the rubber tires don't know if they are on a vette or a SUV.
I think my C4 handles just fine in the snow.... as long as you go slow.....lol.
I LOVE DRIVING MY VETTE even in the SNOW.
Are there any other CRAZY people out there??????

Is this a trick question???
We don't get much of the white fluffy stuff around here, but I would certainly not be taking one of the Corvettes out in it. I've got 5 cars, and a Goldwing, so I'm not in the position to "have to". Maybe if that's the only car I had, I'd feel differently. I don't have a problem with anyone else doing it...just not me!

Probably. But the world always needs more parts cars. So if you keep it up, there's a good chance we'll see you listing stuff in the parts for sale section someday. 
Oh com on , Buy um to DRIVE not look at, Hey if you don,t drive it then maybe you could sell the engine parts. lol

Hey Joel,
Nice vettes , here is a little tid bit of useless information, Did you know that it was 1983 when Prince released (Little Red Corvette)........ The only year GM didn,t release any Corvette's to the public.hummmm... Don;t know why I shared that with you, just saw you own Red Corvette's

I don't drive mine in the snow cause I don't think it handles well in that weather plus the fact that my vette whimpers whenever I open the garage door and its snowing.. LOL. By the way enough already, I live at the Jersey Shore and we have had the most snow in over 15 years. Come on spring.....
Salt Salt Salt! Corrosion can chew the heck out of a car. Even a Corvette has metal parts that can corrode. When your roads get treated with road salt 5 months of the year, 'tis best to let the babies hibernate from 1-November to about 1-May. I know, 6 months is a vvveeerrryyy lllooonnnggg tttiiimmmeee to be without a Corvette. I would really like to live where I could drive my car year round. I also gotta believe the car would be a real handful on an icy road.
Hey Poolman,
I'm right down the road in Lanoka Harbor. See you on the road.

Hey sundew, I'm trying to understand the logic behind putting away a Corvette in the winter time as if it is a beach blanket (I live at the Jersey Shore and there are other so called CRAZY people driving there C4's, C5's and C6's all year round).
A friend of mine has a 1988 Ann. vette and has had MORE problems with the car ....BECAUSE of LACK of use, so he spends BIG money to have it fixed only to look at the car in his garage.....and a dollar to a donut, when that perfect day comes around..... if the vette starts.....he rides around with the SES on........must be great...... .
I do drive my vette every day Rain, Snow, Sun. and I assure you the rubber tires do NOT know if they are on a vette , van or SUV. The secret is to drive slow and stay alert....oh yeah yeah some one could crash into you... BUT that could happen with the car parked in your garage (some idiot could loose control and BAM). So Enjoy the ride you deserve it....
In closeing I say let's start a (WINTER Corvette Driving Club) ......wana join ....lol...
