Great day for a drive...
...in Florida maybe! Northeast Ohio, not so much. I guess I could put chains on it and plow the driveway with the air-dam. Nice contrast in modes of transportation though; rusty blue Escort, shiny black Vette!

Ah, a lovely winter wonderland. I love it! I'm leaving my Z06 tucked away nicley in the garage in Florida tonight while I hit the road in the Z71 Tahoe for a nice trip to PA for the holidays. I hope to see some of that snow!

What's all that white stuff in that photo? I got up, used my new buffer and went out for a couple of pix ... what's all this talk about winter and not driving your Vette? I don't see the issue.

Weather seemed nice enough ... 80 degrees, sunny ... you know ... winter!

I'm in Central Ohio with 8" on the ground and more to come. The 'vette and Goat are both tucked away under cover for the winter. I had hoped to get them out over the holidays but it's not likely to happen now. I've already got cabin fever. A few mods may help the winter pass but what I really need is that transfer to southwest Florida.....Someday.

Maybe we'll pass each other on the way! I'll give you the C5

But hey.. driving the vette is good no matter what.

Its like a heat wave here in Central PA - sunny and mid 40's. Took the Vette out for some Christmas shopping. There is a little salt on the road but as long as you keep the car clean and hose off the salt - I don't see any reason not to drive our Vettes in the winter.
Happy Holidays!!

It would make a good snow plow if the snow got deep enough. We were supposed to get 3-5 inches today, but so far nothing.
