Actually, I think it's cool to get our cars dirty once in a while. Like mud splatter on off-road vehicles. Everything will wash off, no harm done (I hope).

Bummer about not being able to get up your own driveway, though. I guess shoveling and sanding was out of the question at 1:00 a.m.

I think the Corvette Cops should make you drive a ricer for the rest of the year.

:thumbs: Hey, you have some big ones for driving the car in those conditions. I was on a cruise this past summer, and saw a 50 year old man cry because his C5 got sprinkled on by a passing shower.

Looks like there is alot of detailing to do, but I comend you on driving your car and not keeping it holed up in the garage....!!! :)

:seeya

Acckkkkk!!!! Patrick!!!! What did you do?????

Hehe, it'll clean up :yesnod: I can certainly sympathize on getting up the driveway :yesnod: Back on October 22, 1996, we had an "October Surprise," here in Kansas City. I was driving a lowered '95 Z28. Oh my... My driveway doesn't even go up 4 feet. And I truly did have to shovel snow and ice out of the way to get the car into the garage - it was awful. But the funny thing - my dad's Corvette at the time (a yellow LT4 - he had a different yellow LT4 from mine) had a far easier time than my Z28 did.

It's supposed to snow here tomorrow. No chance of my car going out, anyway - it's up on jacks amidst a water pump and intake manifold gasket repair :thumbs: eh... yours could look like this :eek:

Hmm, well I wouldn't "detail" the undercarriage, but I could certainly get all the salt and crud off of it for far less than $300.

Supposed to be some snow and other nastiness here tomorrow, of course it'll all be melted away before I get out of bed. Hell it might even be snowing now. The car's already filthy I may just go find me an empty parking lot and have some fun :reddevil

DarkHalo

Hmmmm...hey, whats that white stuff on the ground there anyway? *reaches for sunglasses and suntan oil* :blueangel:

bogus

sure didn't look like that the last time I saw it... in July... on the Jersey Turnpike...

there was a less than 0% chance of snow then, eh?

You've got a lot of work ahead of you. Sad thing is that it'll be cold at the same time while you're doing it.

Those pics make me :sad: but your having fun.

Oh Pat,

Erase those pictures! Those will come back to haunt you if you ever go to sell it in the C4 for sale forum :D

Cool, how fast did you get it up to? You were doing high speed runs out on the Bonneville salt flats,....right? :lol: I am surprised you got it in the garage, I tried driving mine in the snow the first couple of times when I first got mine. I had to park it and hitch hike home in the snow, I don't take it out if it is going to snow anymore. It is like a big sled with no steering. I would try to start in 3rd gear and it would still spin! :smash:

It is nice to see there are others who hate to see a salt-laden vette.

After being crucified in my post regarding C5ers out in the salt, its refreshing to find out I am not the only one one the forum who is saddened when road salt & vettes are mixed.
