I don't drive mine in the snow or rain in winter and only if it's dry. I don't put mine away for the winter. We have some real nice days here in Utah in the winter.

I drive mine pretty much every single day. It never rests unless I'm on vacation.

I live just north of Philly, and my Corvette is my DD. If I'm expecting more than 1 inch of snow, I will leave the vette at work, and take the company truck home, but that's just because it has a plow.

A little snow is fun when you have 475 rwhp

Run your Vette in 40 degree weather and watch it break all previous records for 0-60, 1/4mile and gas mileage. Cold is good!!!!!!

May get mine out every now and then, but the roads will have to be clear with no salt or cinders on them. Otherwise, the car stays tucked away in the garage.
