The ZR-1 is a dry weather car, stays in the garage in winter. I can drive my '89 Coupe during rain. I just couldn't stand to be Vette-less for the 3 or 4 months of winter and rain so that's why I bouhgt it.

I feel for you folks where it snows. :(

The Vette may stay parked when the snow is on the road, but as soon as I see the roads start to look clear. I'm out cleaning snow off of it and letting it warm up. I noticed yesterday when I had it out, that when I burned a set of stripes, that I could look in the mirror and see 2 lines of steam coming off the road. That was pretty cool to me. It is just way to easy to spin tires on cold roads. Oh well....I needed a new set soon anyways. :D

I hear ya! Definitely a warm weather person living in the wrooong place (NJ). Eventually I'll probably wind up in San Diego, Arizona, or south Fl (or if I can come up with a really good business idea...the Bahamas)

Need to live somewhere I can take the top off and leave it off! :sad: :sad:

Hey...don't fret...with all that horsepower and a plow, you can make a lot of bucks up here in New England. Cruise in the Spring, Summer and Fall and Plow in the Winter .
