This is not for the weak or timmid. If you are a member of the Zaino crowd look away, for those that don't even get thier cars wet when they wash them. PLEASE dont look at this picture.

Very few if any of you have ever seen this phenomenon. Some of you don't even know what this substance looks like, much less packed in the quarter panel of a Corvette.

You have been warned. weak heart or weak stomach, look away.

Yes it is......SNOW! The weather was nice when I left the house. I thought maybe a brief shower. But no, I got caught out in the snow. Looks like I have some real cleaning to do.

There's a guy who has a DD Z06 across the street from where I work. When I was leaving, it was wrecked on the side of the road because the roads were sheets of ice.

i guess i don't get this don't drive in the snow mentality. must be something like don't drive it in the rain. mine is a daily driver but in the south we don't have snow. when it rains she gets dirty and i wash her the next day. not a big deal at all.

you packed snow behind the rear tire. good for you. drive the hell out of it and enjoy it

They are made to be driven-not like that panel is going to rust.

I've had mine since September-no snow where I live in Western WA, so I have been lucky.
