Now that was fun
Sheet ice. Snow. Both. Cars flying everywhere. Hitting each other, polls, trees, ending up in ditches.
But my C6 made it through.
Where was everyone else? I didn't see any other Vettes out there. Don't any of you know how to have fun?

Only had to do one u-turn. There must have been an accident over on the other side of a hill and traffic came to a stop. Well, let's just say that trying to stop and get restartted on a 45 degree ice covered slope wasn't my first choice.
By the way, for those that are interested, the traction control on the C6 does work. It let's you spin more on dry pavement than the C5, but in this nonsense it seems to kick in fast enough.
I also found one feature that would be nice to add: heated wipers. Of course, even driving every day they might come in handy every 2 or three years around here, but when you need them, you need them.

Took the Explorer today and my ride home was over 2 1/2 hrs (normally 45 minutes). And I didn't leave the office until 6:30. Most bailed at 2. Didn't have the guts to the the Vette.

Took the ferry home from NYC to NJ and with 6-8 ft waves on the ocean I can say the ride sucked. Then when I got to the NJ side my frigging door was frozen so I had to climb in through the passenger side.
I did see in the ferry parking lot a C4, C5, and 2 Stangs. I would say that sucked because all the roads were solid ice and I was even taken it slow with the 4x4 on (knowing that 4x4 does nothing on ice except help you crash faster).

Wow, my commute was hard too! I had to wear boots instead of sneakers! And no more jammies, it's too cold, I have to wear a full skirt.
I enjoy watching people try and get out of parking spots with ice -- apparently they believe if they stand on the accelerator eventually the tires will catch (and hurtle them into the car in front of them). Then, since neither speak english, they hurl insults at each other in different languages.
Oh yah, I called in "sick" today. Yes FJB I was supposed to commute to westchester. Now I think I'll commute from the bedroom to the living room.
