The blue ox needs one too, I think I may even want one now. And I said no before.

P.S I still don't want it if it mess's up the corvette.

Edit: 100th post oh yea

Edit2: I am still only a 2 star general.

Hmmm... very interesting as that the first pics of the C7 were the "snow pics" which so happens to look like keeks' backyard.

Maybe this Keeks fellow is not just some regular guy afterall... Hmmm.

AWD? that won't work if they are trying to keep the power down. Besides... AWD has its drawbacks.

Finally some solidarity on the snow program. If I was out with my Z06 and it started to flurry I would have a panic attack.
No problem with a C7 on a snow covered lake or whatever the heck it is but driving one in town with snow .., There are a few pics like this ..That is insane!

Default Snow is not an issue

These were taken in Chicago this past January. Drove up from Dallas, TX It was in the 70's when we left on the trip................ Snow and ice from just south of Effingham all the way up to Highland Park. Car is insured ..................

I still see a whole lot of asphalt in your pics. They show the C7 in "whiteout" conditions just rolling along when in fact my car would lose traction on a banana peel.

I realize the C7 could do fairly well with a snow tire but I could not tell if the car had a different tire.

Yeah, the Blue Ox would certainly take an AWD Corvette. And I don't believe they would make one that would "mess up" the Corvette, because when they do make one, I'm sure it will be a separate model or an option.

Hmmmmmmm. Maybe there should be an AWD debate (in another thread). That would be fresh

That was the parking lot of the motel. The interstate was in much worse condition till the temperature broke above the freezing point. The were still trying to pull big rigs out of the median days later when we were headed back south.

Pictures like that make me glad I don't live in pneumonia hole places like that anymore, after having grown up in the northeast.
