Best time of the year. Heck, we store ours in the summer and drive in winter.

We would drive it straight thru winter. But when the salt starts gettin dumped it gets parked. the cooler and cold weather is fine. Then you can take advantage of the notorious heat comming up from the floorboards and all that.. Dont even need to turn the heat on. :crazy:

see i see it like this,we have other vehicles that have frames also,right?i work on the salt spreaders and plows in the inwter i know what salt can do,believe me,but as long as you clean it when your done its fine,i drove mine every day for over 5 years through every condition my frame is still fine,and if it does rust out then ill just do it again.Id rather drive it then have it sit in a garage and just look at it.

I do. But, our winters are very mild. High temps avg in the 50s, low temps prolly avg in the 40s. And, NO SNOW OR ICE!!!!!!

I live in CA so sometimes but I don't see the point of driving a Vette in snow, ice, rain - thats what Toyota Corollas are for. :D

I'm on the edge of the Mojave desert so winter time here can still be in the 90's! (I think that's around 30C for my friends up North)

I think the question should be "Why does anyone drive their C3 in the summer?" Winter is the only time to take out the Vette for a spin.

Re: Does anyone drive their C3 in the winter? (Skyhigh)
what's winter?! It's been so long since I lived up North I forgot what it's like. Down here because of the extreme heat, I'm thinking of storing my car in the SUMMER :eek:
