Oregon doesn't salt the roads on the rare occasion it snows. If it does get snowy or icy I just stay home. Retired with a stocked pantry, don't even have to make a beer run(17 years baby
) These cars handle great in the rain too, just watch for standing water, both hands on the wheel
Actually, I'm on the coast today, 90 miles from home, forecast is for a rainy drive home tomorrow

Mine is Stored During Summer
When I leave Florida and head for my summer home in Vermont I put a battery tender and a cover on the vert from May to October. Can't drive two vehicles plus the lakefront summer place is on a dirt road. The old vert will be back in action in a month

Guess you've never had to wash the salt and sand off in 90° heat in the middle of winter after driving down Daytona Beach either? It sucks I tell you.

Favorite thing about winter in Kentucky,
No Bugs
The normal heat from the console area really feels good
No bugs
The LS seems to love the colder air
Did I mention, no bugs?

Now don't get me wrong, I drive my car. I just don't drive it in salt, intentionally drive it in rain, and in the winter I use my DD while the Vette gets a well deserved rest. Besides that, it's like getting a new Vette in the spring.
