Default Oh No! It'll Rust!

Or the little engine will Freeze ... and never start again!
Or the paint will all crack, and fall off!
Or the wheels won't turn!

The garage has a much newer Mustang in it. And our hangar at the airport is stuffed with two airplanes. Good thing the Corvette is a CHEVY. (Refer to the two times they took Corvettes on long, hard demo trips.)



The car is all cleaned off now, and it's another sunny day in Colorado.

Call your insurance company. It looks totaled...

Also, someone report this to CarFax. A corvette that has seen snow is always a red flag.

The Ford gets the garage while the Chevy stays outside....? What is this world coming to?

At least you can find a red one in the snow. I have to hit the panic button to find my white one.

What is that white stuff all over your Car?

Personally I would leave the Mustang outside....newer or not.

Since it will see snow, you might as well take advantage of the C 6HP and Torque and fit it with appropriate accessories.

Spent all your money fixing up that Rustang that you can't afford a cover for the Vette? We all know that Ford means "fix or repair daily"

It wasn't snow, and the OP was afraid to admit he has a little bit of a dandruff problem.
