Default What is this white stuff on the ground???

We bought our first Corvette on Nov 3, and we were able to drive her for about a month before this happened. Gotta love those MN winters (NOT) 2007 AO 2LT

That there is to improve the handling of the car and to make sure it stays in doors until its all gone.

We left a city in Southwest New York state to move here to East Tennessee about 12 years ago. We dont miss the 132 inches of snow average per year!!! But it is nice for Christmas!

Don't remind me. I'm putting off shovelling the drive by surfing here. I'm sure I'll get the word real soon.

Just over 7 inches of the nasty white stuff in Moorhead, MN. My Vette frowned as I pushed the snowblower by. Not only that, but I had to open the garage door and allow the cold air in. Quite disturbing in an otherwise heated environment! Come on April 1st!! For those of you in the warm climates...enjoy! Dan

By us the whitestuff is called sand. The sandy white beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama are only 30 miles away! No winterizing here.

We just had some of that white stuff here in Chicago. It melted quickly but we won't be so fortunate each time over the next four months.

But I am fortunate enough to have a Corvette and I refuse to spend half my life not driving my C6.

Snow is just water sometimes mixed with some salt.

But I do avoid driving when we get more than about an inch of the white stuff.

We got about 6" in my area-the 'Vettes were all stored 2 weeks ago. Seems like a long time until April 1st! At least the snowblower worked.

Having had ours for such a short time (and only 700 miles on the odometer) plus the prediction for snow we figured we had to get one of our last drives in for the year so we put 80+ miles on her on Friday.
