Im Jealous.....
All you southerners get to drive your corvettes year round. All us minnesotans have to park ours for the winter. I always get sad when i put the car cover on.
Damn Snow.....
Only thing its good for is Ice Fishing, Snowmobiling and Snowboarding.

It has not been very good driving weather for old corvettes this week here in Tennessee. Snow and ice a couple of days this week.

I had mine out last night for a Christmas party. It really liked the cold air. Any day without ice and salt on the road, it'll be out.

It was about 60-70 degrees out today here in Baton Rouge. The downside is i have been spending it all inside recovering from sinus surgery. I wish I was outside cruising or at least working on my car.

You need to look at the positive side: If it wasn't for this Minnesota winter, I wouldn't get any upgrades and improvements done on my '80. A wood-fired heated garage is a great get-away from the fair weather outdoor Minnesota projects.

I usually am too but this being the first winter with my C3 I'm taking advantage of it and getting as much accomplished with it as I can.

Hey, good luck on your sinus recovery, It is a blessing here that we get to drive our Vette's year round.

For some reason i think this looks nice. Even though the body is bad, it shows that it is still being used and loved.

Baton Rouge area is good for a few cold days followed by 4-5 rain days every winter....
