Fellow Jersey guy here, except I don't have my vette yet to complain about the weather. Hopefully by summer but until now it's been a pretty mild winter here in central Jersey.. Spring is around the corner!

Not all of Arizona is Phoenix. Picture below last Wednesday 18-24" of snow. I could have driven my Z06 on mostly dry roads today, but snowmelt running down the gutters and at the intersections. Golf on the front 9 tomorrow!

Fear not ,there is a guy in North Jersey who has a car just like yours . Reach out to him and he will show you how to drive with the Z51 "summer only tires" in snow. Don't worry you will be back on the road ( or off the road ) in no time.!

Oh, nice picture of an old fashion snowfall !

How do you open the car door to get in and out?..AND

From what I've been reading don't forget to put it on a charger (or start it to keep the battery up) if it's going to be more than a week.
