Date night.
So the wife calls and says she want to go have dinner this eve and wants to take the vette since she knows i love taking it out. So what do you think it does .... Snow! No big deal, but I haven't driven my vette in the snow since my daily driver c4 back in 99. Anyway, we are getting unexpected snow in richmond.

Well, we were already out when it started snowing, got caught but made it home safe.... Just nervous. Just bought this as a replacement to my c5 2 weeks ago. Should have taken the tahoe.

Today is a beautiful 55 degrees and clear and dry. I'm taking my Z06 today and doing my errands....tomorrow it's supposed to rain with a cold front approaching and we are expected to have snow with NO accumulation.....so I'm taking opportunity today...here in S.W. we get to drive our Vettes almost year around. 50% of time in winter at least....

When I lived in new Jersey I would put snow tires on me 78 vette and drive it all winter in the snow. Even took it from N.J. to fla and back one winter, 50% of the way in snow. Granted it had 70 series tires on it, it was really great in the snow as long as it was not too deep to cause the bottom of the car to start to drag in the snow. Now I would not even think of taking my Vette in the rain. By the way, drove the 78 vette for 5 years and got $200. less than I paid for it.
