I haven't lived in Michigan for some time now but can tell that the picture was taken around June or July.

Its white, horrible graphic, and the wheels are on backwards.
Or, were you referring to the snow?

Oh please...I drive mine all year, they don't melt. Throwing a sheet over it, locking it in a garage and forgetting it for months...THAT is abuse!

I beg to differ, there are many different makes and models to choose from far more worthy of a salty Michigan winter than a corvette. Watch it rust away.

Ill keep mine covered and garaged 4 months out of 12 to preserve it thank you.

Your loss. Then again I don't live in Michigan (Thank you Lord! ) I have 4 more months to enjoy it. It's survived 4 winters with me so far
