Give it a try, but set up a videocamera so we can see the result.

I would think the pointed nose of the C-3 could poke through a snow drift. I'm getting sick of this winter crap too..........

I agree you should video tape the attempt but I think it would damage the nose. I would say get after it with a pick and snow shovel. Any man REALLY wanting to drive their Vette would not let a pesky snow drift slow him down. Assuming obviously that the streets are clear.

if your driveway is long enough to build up a good head of steam, you should be able to "slip" right under.

You can do it!!!!

If you videotape it, put it on UTube, maybe you could be the next millionare. If it worked for the Jackass movies, who knows!

Go for it!

Yes....WINTER SUCKS!!!

OK, here's the way to do it...get a piece of thin sheet metal, duct tape it to the front of the car and then bend it down to just above the ground...Presto! the Corvette SNOW PLOW!! The snow will travel up across the front fenders and go off the car short of the windshield.
