I don't drive the vette in the rain because it's a pain in the *** to make it pretty again. I don't drive it in the winter <not because the roads are shitty> but simply because my other rides have remote starts and heated seats. I don't want to get in the vette and freeze my ***** off.

Y'all are funny. Believe it or not I made it back home safely. On one cold wet stretch gave enough throttle to turn on Traction Control just to make sure it still works.

BTW I programed out Active Handling years ago. I learned to handle way before such a thing and between what it would do automatically and what I would do instinctively .... real problem!

I drive mine - it's a car made of metal and plastic, not cotton candy - it won't melt. Besides, I don't want to be lying on my death bed one day saying "I sure wish I would have ridden my motorcycles and driven my car more..." No sense in preserving it for the next guy who would buy it after I'm all croaked out.

I tend to not drive my Corvette in the rain, because for some reason unknown to me, it "disappears" to other drivers. Several times, back before I retired, I drove my C-5 to work, when there was potential for rain. And sure enough, on my way home, even though I had the lights all on and was driving at a reasonable speed, in the right lane of the expressway, I almost got "run over" by 2-3 jackasses. They would drive right up on my back bumper, cut left at the last possible moment to pass me, then damned near drive over my hood, as they cut back in front of me, to keep on going. Only happened when I was in my 'Vette.......

That may or may not be weather related. Having recently purchased my first Corvette; in fair or foul weather, I have noticed that some drivers become a bit aggressive in response to the Corvette. Seems the car's looks may be bringing out the inner child in them. Having ridden a motorcycle for years, I know the difference between being unseen, and seen. There is no question, I am being seen in my Corvette.

I don't know what to say. I've had my Corvette for 16 years, having purchased it in the summer of 2001. I also had a 1996 Z/28 Camaro, which I owned until 2015. I drove them both, regularly, during the summer, and I never had any issues in the Camaro, in the rain, like I had when I was in the 'Vette....
