If I had a new Stingray, there's no way in hell I'd be driving it right now. The roads are actually clear in Cleveland today, but it's very cold, there's salt everywhere and there are huge potholes. Probably a Dr.'s car

I would definitely have to have some other kind of "little mule" to drive in the winter if I lived in those conditions.

You must be on the west side. We have tons more snow than that over here on the east side!

Yeah, I am over near Fairview Park. Lots of snow piled up, but roads are cleared. If we even got an inch today, I doubt this dude would be going anywhere. Poor 'vette

That probably is his winter beater. Probably has ten ferraris, 3 lambos, an Aston Martin and a couple overpriced beamers in the garage.

trashmanssd · 02-10-2014, 08:28 PM

probably doesn't care because he is trading it in on Z06 or Future ZL1 or whatever supercharged vette they come out with in year or 2 and like other guy said its all aluminum frame and panels really not much to rot.

A car not driven is a waste of potential. I own a car to drive it, regardless of the weather. The only exception is hail. If I had a stingray right now (and the tranny was not shot) I would drive it in snow, rain, sleet and sun.

Let the haters begin.

Nothing wrong with that. I would drive my car every day if I could. The six feet of immovable snow in front of my garage dictates when it comes out again.

Winter will do that to a person, screw up their brain, Cabin Fever I say.

I am fortunate, I only have 5 ft of snow. I wouldn't even think about attempting to drive my car with our current weather conditions. Just last week it was -14, and -45 with our wind chills. Everything was solid ice. Now if I lived in Warm climate state I would drive my car every day.
