Took my Z06 out today before it snowed, man that was nice. I was out for about 45 minutes, saw another C5, got a wave..

When I was pulling in the yard it was spitting snow lightly, very lightly. Pulled it in the garage and shut the door, nothing but smiles all afternoon...

I'm out with mine anytime the roads are dry and it isn't windy. Colder the better, that way I know the roads aren't wet. Sandblast type days it stays locked in the garage.

I washed mine yesterday morning and temps were about 37. Colder with the wind chill. However when it's a labor of love, you don't feel it.
