How do you keep your vette clean when cruisin around living on a dirt road? I've been wanting to move and everywhere I look it's dirt or earth driveways! I love being out in the boonies without nearby neighbors too! Looks awesome and private! Share more pics of your yard area Pounder!

Good luck with the snow and no 4WD!! Hope you have a snowmobile!

The pic is my driveway which is crushed asphalt, but I do have to go 250 feet on dirt. My neighbors don't like it if they get behind me, a whooping 2 mph. nevertheless it's a challenge !!

My best mod to date....100 yards x 9 ft of black top...cost about the same as a high mileage C5.

well it's a semi-private road so very little traffic. one thing for sure if it was paved there would a lot more miles on the Vette !! worst thing is it sucks up so much crap with the fans on !!

I think you would do better with the snowmobile pulling the Vette on the trailer !!

I bet there would be! I can imagine that not helping the fans very well at all... Maybe time to talk to the locals about getting the road paved?! I couldn't handle it...would drive me NUTS every time I left the road, knowing my *** end was filthy!

I swear Chevy magnetized the entire rear end!! Nothing but a dust magnet even if not on a dirt road!

Some say Chadwick's made the car a complete dust magnet, I have found that with Chadwick's it's very light, but dirt is dirt !! The locals are all about keeping the speed down so none of them want it paved. Since I have had my mods done with a tune that has the fans come on earlier and a 180 stat, it has been 50 % better !! The real snow has arrived !!

Lows in the upper 20s and low 30s the last couple of days here in sunny Northwest Florida. But tomorrow's high will be in the upper 70s. I'd rather it stay cold than fluctuate so much.

Will be nice to watch some snowy football today.
