I drove my 78 in the white sh..t only once (here they call it white gold for the skidoo resort and and tourisme) but when you have a vette it feel more like sh..t when you have 3 feets of that stuff in your driveway. Anyway, i was cought to drive it in the snow once and it felt scary. Not to drive it, but when you only have antique insurance it would had be hard to explain if someone had ran into me. The first snow is always the worse one ,it's always slippery and everyone is use to stop at the last minute and it's sometime too late. So now i park my vette when they announce snow and it stay there until there is no more of that sh....... on the ground.

There is a guy in the Buffalo area that drives his vette all year round here. I spoke with him one day, and asked him about driving a vette in the winter. He said he's been driving Corvettes all year round for the past 35 yrs. and no problems. He gets a new one every few years. I'd hate to see what the frame and suspension looks like after a few years of being exposed to the road salt.

I think some of his old cars have been pictured on this forum from time to time. Or should I say his old rusty cars.
