Default How We Drive Corvettes in Denver

The CCC (The Colorado Corvette CraZies - the Ultimate Corvette Tuning and Beer Drinking Fraternity) is a dedicated, fanatical Group that believes that Vettes must be driven. We do not comprehend the concept of "winter storage." (what kind of nonsense is that???). Convertibles should NEVER be driven with the top up. And all Vettes should be driven every weekend.
Last weekend, the CCC had a gathering to install a windshield in a '64. And we drove our cars.

"If you don't drive it with the top down, you shouldn't own it."

That's extreme.....was that Photo-chopped ?

My top is mostly used to keep the Texas sun off the interior when it's parked. ;)

verskel -
I use my top to keep the snow out of the interior when the car is parked.

The photo has not been altered - it's in the "as-taken" condition about 10 miles from my house.

The sunglasses are to keep the snow out of my eyes when I pass semi-trailers in blizzard conditions.

Cool .. but you guys don't get that much snow in Denver, do you ?

Sorry, but I will only be enjoying 'my' vette on seemingly 'nice' days.
No snow no rain.
I will need to buy another 'driver' for the 'off' days.

:cheers: :seeya
