As a kid, my gramp always called deer hunters from the L.P. “Apple-knockers”... the guys from the thumb that camped(tents and trailers) near us had orchards and brought tons of apples up for bait. Nice guys despite that bait being a real challenge to compete against. We figured out where to shoot the deer on the way to their bait. Haha.

Cleveland would be more like Chicago... on a number of levels. But weather-wise, if you should spend a winter in the UP, bring merino wool underwear. Haha.

It takes a different mindset for sure to live in a very cold climate... but someone like me that lives in Texas where it’s hotter than 40 hells 9 months out of the year will gladly trade those cold snowy winter months up north. My wife’s parents live in the U.P. And they winter in the south, but occasionally we do Christmas at their house and I absolutely LOVE seeing all that beautiful snow over the visit there.

There’s always a way to get around up there... they use snow machines (we call em snowmobiles in Texas) to get around. Sleds, trucks, whatever... it’s not totally impassable, just cold and snowy. But the winter scenery is like no place you’ve ever seen until you experience it. It’s so peaceful looking and the pace of life there is what I probably enjoy the most.

Nope, the Corvettes - and similar vehicles from other manufacturers - can’t navigate the very snowy and icey conditions of the winter wonderlands...physics.

That much snow would certainly be a deterrent to driving a Vette (or many other cars for that matter). But it sure makes for a beautiful picture.

If Corvette became a stand alone brand, we could certsinly expect that. I’ll settle for a Corvette version of the Cayenne... pros and cons to the idea. Porsche purists had a hissy when the SUV idea was hatched. Thats keeping their company alive right now.

there may be snow on the driveway, but there’s still fire in the garage...

This article reminds me of a journalist who goes to Vail and writes a “how to ski” article after spending a day on a groomed green run... not a clue what skiing a back bowl in crud up to his *** is about. Trust me on this folks, there are few places better than the twisty U.P. or northern Wis little traveled roads to drive a Vette in the late spring, summer and fall months. But put it away in November. The perfect snow conditions in this test are an exception, not the rule.

thats it.. everything they say is true in 4 inches of light powder on a closed course.... like comparing driving conditions at Mid Ohio during your privately rented HPDE day to dodging potholes in heavy traffic on I-65 north to Chicago... garbage information.
