Default Vette in the snow

well another vette in the snow story. My back window of the vette has been broken since November so i finally took it yesterday to go get the window fixed and will be getting my HUD, EBCM and climate control fixed on the car! than sell it and look for a Z06 can't wait for summer! The car wasn't that bad put it in second and she moved easily just took her slow.

Glad to hear everything was fixed, it sucks when stupid little things cause big problems. I hate driving my Vette through the snow (still take it out every weekend nonetheless), my Mustang is my DD including the snowy days; which really is not much better haha.

I was at my sisters which she lives in a condo so it was parked outside. At about 3:30 i heard people outside talking and i couldn't remember if i had locked my car (i live in the country and never lock it at home) so i clicked the lock button and we all know it honks. so i'm guessing they didn't like that and threw the wrench through the window. woke up in the morning to go to school and a big hole. wish i would have got up and seen who was talking.

That sucks man. I absolutely despise people who don't give a s%$# about other people's belongings/property. When people have zero regard towards things that do not belong to them shows the kind of class they are in. Bad news, but glad everything is fixed now. Hopefully you have better luck in the future.

Glad to hear you did fine in the snow. Good luck with the Z06 hunt and take your time if you can. The perfect one is out there.
