Winter?
I know this question pops up alot, but ohh well. I have a c4 right now and I was thinking about buying a c5 next year for college as a daily driver so I can work on my car and not have to worry about something breaking. I'm really not the type of person that will drive a beater so, heres my question, will I hurt a c5 by driving it in the winter?
At OSU, it snows only a couple of times and I can get a ride with my buddy during that time, the problem is it will be daily driven in cold weather. I was planning on using a block heater and a set of winter tires during the winter. Thank you for your help.

It shouldn't be a problem for you to drive a C5 in winter. They really aren't very good in the snow though. You really should fill out your profile so we'd know where you're from.

I don't know how the winter weather is in Oklahoma, but here in VA it only snows a few times a winter. Usually it's 2 or 3 inches. If it's anymore than that, then I just take vacation or get a ride with a buddy. The main roads are never snow covered for more than 1 day. I've lived here my entire life and have only met one person that owns snows tires.
I also don't know how cold it gets at OSU. It was in the teens during the morning last winter and I was driving around on the stock run flats. They turn into concrete when it's that cold!

Ok, thank you for your help. And sorry about the lack of profile info, I had just set up this account. And it was Oregon State University not Oklahoma, and when it snows its really light and I can probably hitch a ride with my buddy once the snow hit the ground.
