Who has a snowbrush in their car?
Well, we are expecting a Nor'easter here in Boston tomorrow nite, luckily I have my Pilot Sport AS/3 ZPs all broken in
Sadly had to go find the snow brush, it looks like the time has finally come...
While I won't pick a fight with nature if it's snowing, sometimes you just get caught.
Can't trust those forecasters, but I'll be prepared
Anyone else?

Don't need one because I have heated mirrors. Anytime I venture too far north as to need heated mirrors I know my northern limit has been exceeded. Then I turn around and head back south toward Chiggerbranch, MS where I live with my C7.

I live in Colorado. It’s a Chevy. I drive it.

It’s the first car I’ve owned that I don’t carry one. The only time a brush touches my car is to get snow off the windows,

I don't see how its possible to drive a corvette in the snow, the front dam is just too low to make thru a storm. Its just not corvettes there are hundreds of Low cars that should not be driven in the snow, how is it possible

Its possible only in strictest definition of the word possible.

I put one in my car last night. When I went out to the garage this morning I found the brush out of the car on the floor snapped in half. I think the car was trying to tell me something.

Driving in the snow only happens when the roads are clear, I’m out and it starts snowing. I won’t leave my house with snow on the ground in the C7. But once the roads are reasonably clear (riding on pavement), I’m driving. And yes, clearance is the reason why.

I drove my C5 through 7 Toronto winters. It is possible if you're near a major city where roads get plowed frequently, it's just not a good idea (especially without snow tires, I tried doing it with just all seasons and got into some dicey situations, it really was not smart) My C5 was not lowered, and many times after just a small snowfall of a few inches I could hear and feel the snow hitting the bottom of the undercarriage as I drove along. If storms were really bad I stayed home or borrowed another car back then. These cars really aren't meant for deep snow.

It's good to hear that at least a few folks will venture out during the Winter
I expected to get flamed for even suggesting having a snowbrush, there are so many who won't even take their car out in the rain.
People ask, "why drive it year round, you have another car", the response is "Why wouldn't I, I love driving it", jeeeez!
Hasn't started snowing yet today...it's all good
Thanks for playing

Not my C7’s favorite time of year. I have a snowbrush, it’s in the garage with my covered Stingray as we just got hit with 4 plus inches of wet snow and ice in Frederick MD. Corvette Toys for Tots drop off event is Saturday. ... hope the roads are clear by then! Don’t have AS tires on her yet!
