I feel your pain here in Pa. All we can do is go out to the garage and admire the Corvette. Looks like you could use some better winter tires on the beast though if you want to get it's best performance in the snow .

Had Goodyear wranglers made too much much noise on pavement.These Firestones are great all year round and drives like a caddy on dry pavement.

No matter how good your tires are and brakes..starting turning..and stopping and getting stuck on a hill behind ill equipped drivers will stop you..

Hi jr,
Not much snow in those pictures...but more than we have here! (1"+)
It's always interesting how extra CLEAN cars that have remained in the garage look when everything else is getting so filthy!
Regards,
Alan

And that is why I moved to South Carolina from New Jersey 19 years ago. My blood has thinned out a bit and we are complaining about a low of 24 last night. But then again, the old heat pump isn't nearly as much fun as a good old fashioned oil fired furnace with steam heat. Just the noises at 3am would warm me up. I can almost hear that ice crunch in the driveway....Thanks.

18 degrees and 4 inches of snow here in West Virginia today. I spent the entire day in my 70 degree Hot Rod Grille Garage! Changed the batteries in all of the pinball machines (had to play a few games to check each one after installing the new batteries), listened to music and applied a coat of Surf City Garage spray detailer to the '70 LS-5. Not a bad way to spend a Winter day!
