Do you drag race that baby? Bring it to E town. It'd be nice to see a SISTER to Scorps(Hopefully Panuzzo doesn't start cleaning the wrong car as a favor to Scorp :lol: ).
It won't be long now.

Re: SNOW (35th)
I'm with you, bro. I feel like pulling people out of their C5s and slapping them silly when there's a 1/2" layer of road salt and grime from the doorhandles on down...
I understand some folks buy 'em as daily drivers, but don't they realize, at 42 degrees north latitude at the foothils of the Appalachian, IT SNOWS! SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!!

I couldn't fight it and had to go for a spin. :yesnod: :yesnod: :D :D

Re: SNOW (aldo802)
Daily driver and proud of it. The vette does suprisingly well in the snow if you are careful. It's fun to do and it makes you a better driver to be able to negotiate bad weather in a vehicle that we'll just say isn't optimized for it.
I think I got that attitude from my dad. He learned how to drive a 1946 Chevrolet, in Bristol Virginia. That's up in the mountains where they actually have something other than flat roads, and it happens to snow up there quite a bit. He can drive that thing with it's 205 series bias ply tires, manual tranny, no weight in the back. That makes any other vehicle cake. That's why I never shy away from snow, I go out in it on purpose. I don't care what you are in, the better experience driver will get home. How many times have you seen some lady who managed to get a 4WD SUV stuck? It happens far too often around here. It's all because it never snows here and nobody knows what to do. 1 inch of town and this town stops.
Just be sure and wash all the salt off ASAP. But truth be told we've got it better than MOST cars out there. Fiberglass doesn't rust.
