It's definitely totaled, paint can not be saved, trust me I have seen this! Once the snow melts it will eat the paint right off.

I suspect I'll never seen such an abomination again.
Seriously a warning disclosure should be posted prior to showing photos like this. Snow on a C6 ZR1? Obviously a END OF DAYS confirmation.

Next time I'll be sure to throw a NSFW on the title. Sometimes I just get carried away and completely reckless

Ok...full disclosure:
I had Pilot Super Sports on the car rather than my normal PS Cup 2s and it was 28-30°F at the west-bound exit of the Eisenhower/Johnson tunnel (11,158-ft) so the snow wasn't sticking that much and there was no ice. Driving in that kind of weather really is pretty easy, even in a Corvette. Once we got over to about Vail, the snow stopped.

What were we doing up there? Another guy and I were on a 2019 National Corvette Caravan PreRun trip.

The snow won’t hurt it, but the freezing cold can kill summer performance tires. My P-zero Pirelli (sp) tires say don’t drive below 45F.

I'm not as brave as you fellas...



Thought I could get it out before the storm hit. No dice. Ended up dumping 5"-6" snow in my front yard.

In all fairness I didn’t drive it in that weather. Just backed it out of the garage to get at some stuff that was in front of it and didn’t want to take the chance of dropping something on it.

This thread has turned out to be significantly more entertaining than i'd expected.

Loving the snow pics of the ZR's

It's a 2008 and yes, it's actually into storage for the next 4 month
