The only time mine will be off the road is in snow or ice and then it will be in the driveway anyway....

Yeah the front and rear subframes/cradels are aluminum as are the control arms, but that's nothing a good power washer can't take care of once a week.

Who are you saving it for?
I live in PA and plan on driving mine as much as possible this winter. I am working away from home for a couple of months, but when I get back you can bet your ... I will be driving if the roads are clear.

Wash off the undercarrage and I believe it will be fine. Use it up and then you have an excuse to buy a C6 Z06!!!

There is a guy that lives in the same county as me that has an 03 commerative edition. It has 1200 miles on it because he doesn't want to get it dirty!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I love mine too much to put it away.
