Default Winter is coming...

...well, maybe not yet even here in Finland.

But to entertain this section of Corvetteforum, here's my winter test from late 2009. As you can see it was cold December day...:



...somewhere near arctic circle...:



...and while driving back to metropolitan area...:



...snow just kept coming in...:



...finally in a warm parking building...:



...and that bloody snow was...:



...everywhere...:



...even in brake ducts...:



...no blower though, as I removed it for winter:





It all reminds of an old picture taken long time ago of this rare -66 427 big tank C2 Vette...:



...which isn't for sale. But isn't it a nice picture!

Looks like regular all season tires on there, I'm surprised it goes through that much snow.

In Socal it's spring year round! But we have other problems here that I would gladly trade our good weather for.

That is awesome! Reminds me of when I used to have my '01 Z28 for a daily driver.
