Can not do this to my Vette

Jeff T.

I guess we can't accuse the owner of having a garage queen!!!

I would think if you can afford a Corvette you can afford a beater to tow your snowmobiles. I've been wrong before though!

That's an awesome picture. I also like the one of the C5 with the Christmas tree strapped on top of it (I think that one is a member here).

I've not hauled anything that hardcore but I've hauled plenty of dirt and mulch and building materials in mine. They make plenty of great cleaning products to make it look like new. Plus there's always plenty more Corvettes to buy if I completely and utterly destroy mine.

for what the vette is worth and what you can buy in a used 4x4 //makes no sense to me ????? not to mention the being stranded part ?? (I know you have the snowmobiles)

JR-01

I would wager this was the first and last time he did this.

Tuco

Nice of him to use good gas at least.

It's just a car I've been driving mine everyday and its so cold here right now she can stay covered in salt and road grime.

He is determined to make it his daily driver. In winter he has a back up plan.

it is NOT just a car, it's a CORVETTE anything else is just a car :will y:

Humm, here is what my '04 manual says: Note the highlighted area.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX
pounds” on your vehicle placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of
cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the
“XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and
cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, the load from
your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine how this reduces
the available cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.
Your vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow
a trailer.

Some people do not read manuals (or directions, or ask for directions)

My son towed his Jet Ski to the lake in his C5 several years ago. No issues.

Absurd is my first thought. Like wearing a good suit to work in the garden!

oh1vette

Unless its the trailer, looks pretty lowered too....

Musta made a nice path in the snow...

leadfoot4

That picture AGAIN???




Just for the record, this is the second black Z-06 that this guy has driven year round (first one was a C-5), and towed a snow-mobile in the winter and a Jet-Ski in the summer...............

I'm not a Vette. purist and mine is not a trailer/garage queen. IMO, this person has more money than brains.

Vetteman Jack

His car and his money spent on it, but that's something I will not be doing to mine.

Ah com'on, a working man's gotta do what he's gotta do...

I would have expected the pic to be the other way around, snowmobile pulling the vette

....or in my case, it's an 18 year old plastic bodied Chevy, worth rather less than my wife's Subaru.
