If he left it overnight however that snow would be frozen solid today - it is bitterly cold as there is a polar vortex in action being affected by some system out of the pacific.

Who even heard of "Polar Vortex" before last year....

It is currently 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Not too bad compared to most of North America.

Oh yeah I know, I used to live in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I can remember my parents having grilling parties (in shorts) in temps of 30s-20s. When I was born, it was nice and toasty at -72 F. I later moved to Hawaii and lets just say it was a lot warmer there.

My brother has talked about playing "tag" with a buddy of his back in the day. No contact of course, but they chased each other around city streets in the snow. '68 427 Vette and a big block Monte Carlo.

"They were just cars back then" is all he said.

I have photos of my rusted out frame as evidence these cars were driven in such weather, often.

but if I need to work on another project, space is a at a premium so the vette sits outside. I know its hard on it, and its not ideal, But if it was an ideal world we would all have the space/time/money to do what we want. I also use mine as my DD, it's my hot rod and it would be the same if was a Camaro, or an old C-10 Chevy truck. Make improvements as you go, fix what breaks, and enjoy it!

There is a youtube video of the owner of it ramming the crap out of a 3rd gen Camaro without the plow. Crushed the front clip and blew a tire. It was interesting to watch. I forgot what the title was, I tried to find it, but I couldn't remember what it was titled as. Anyways there were 2-3 videos of the guy damaging both the Vette and the Camaro. It was essentially a demolition derby. So that Vette, which I think it was a '63-64 possibly, was in worse shape after the video than it is in this picture.

You got me curious.
Here is a link to the story about the car. Apparently it was bought like that with plow and all.
The demo derby was to remove the body panels etc...
Now it is restored/built into good looking car again.
