Default Let's See Pictures of Your C7 in the Snow - The Deeper the Better!

Old man winter is coming. I thought it would be fun to get in the mood with some C7 pictures in the snow, the deeper the snow the better!

Not a C7 as I haven't had it for a winter yet, but proof they don't melt in snow either:

These were taken in early March.

We still had lots of snow here in the Detroit area.

Checking in from Phoenix.

I too enjoy the snow pictures in the winter time while I'm targa top-less enjoying the sunshine

My C5 used to be my daily driver, even in winter, but I'd never do that again. Just because it's possible doesn't make it a good idea. These cars are too low for the snow, no matter how good of a tire it has under it.

I have not, and will not ever drive my C6 in the snow, and when I get a C7 it will be the same. These cars deserve better than that, the snow and salt wreaks havoc on these cars. I have seen that first hand too (my C5 had it's original ECM go bad because the salt from the roads completely corroded the connections to it)

Not a C7, but the snow depth was over 8 feet. Thank goodness for snow plows.

Not very deep but the C7 did fine on a 20 mile commute home, that is until I got to my driveway where I got stuck. LOL

I second that brother!

Gotta love southern Arizona in the winter time!

I look forward to parking my topless C7 next to a line of Palm trees as I get out in shorts, flip flops with a latte in my hand on Christmas Day!

I miss my birthplace in Chicago dearly, but I definitely will not miss the salt, snow, and ice!
