For those of us in the north this is a sad time of year. Hopefully this will be a mild winter and there will be some days that the car can be taken out for a nice drive.

Winter weather is "snow" good reason to not be driving your Corvette!

(If you don't like the music, hit the mute button. Video shows some mad Corvette driving skills!)

Joehawk,

That's not nuts, that is fun! A RWD car + good snow tires + a little experience in such conditions = some of my fondest driving memories. It is amazing how much fun it is just to power-steer a car with essentially throttle only.

Last winter mine remained in a barn in MN while I was in AZ. This year a new friend drove it to AZ....yes, I let someone I did not know drive it 2,000 and store it in his garage until I arrive for a 3 month vacation!

Thanks much! Color on these cars is one of the hardest choices there is--so many good options. I was all set to get Laguna Blue until I saw my TR--but what really sold me was the combination of TR with two-tone AR interior. I had not seen the two-tone option before. And the rest, as they say, is history. Now I just sit back an envy those of you living in warmer climates.

This is the car jacket. With the dust cover underneath and desiccants that draw moisture inside the jacket, your car comes out in the spring the was you put it in. Dust, rust, corrosion, rodent and pest free. Been using this method for years and IMO the best storage cover out there.
Here's where I got it from. http://www.carbag.com/products/carjacket
