Mine will be out in March...It will NEVER look like the op's car, just my humble opinion.

Good deal that the car performed so well in the snow - the proper tires were a good choice. I still choose to keep mine in the garage in weather like that.

Hello.

Do not fear I did not drive it all week and it went into storage today. Let's hope we don't have snow and/or freezing rain at the end of April 2019 like we did this year...

That's why I have a 4WD pickup and an AWD Mercedes sedan, so the ZO6 can stay clear of the non-driving ******** out there that think they can drive the same way in snow that they can in the dry.

How did you keep the engine cool? Snow & ice blocking the radiator.

Stayed at normal temp the whole time. Would have knocked it off if it started getting hot.

Nothing down there for it to hurt so it really isn't a problem. The biggest issue is when they throw sand on the road.

That will be a good excuse for the car needing more power. I like the way you think.

Very little wiggle in the rear when crossing intersection filled with all kinds of crap. There was practically no plowing or salting. My neighborhood easily had 6 inches of snow and the car drove like it was on dry pavement.

Everyone talks about getting a cheap beater for the winter. Well I saw a lot of them, mostly trying to get uphill, sitting on the side of the road, or spun around in a guardrail. Even SUVs, pickups and semis were struggling, sitting in ditches or stuck. This car did not bat an eye. Amazing combination.
Hey, thanks man this is so awesome, few questions though, how cold was it? It get negative 50 here also I will get these but do I get the same exact size from and back? Thanks.
