How about you?
I get to drive mine, it does not get cold where I live. Not sure if I could handle putting mine away for 3 months.

i drive my GS in the winter because it doesnt snow here. but it gets too cold to ride my hayabusa. if its really nasty outside, like cold and rainy then i'll drive my f-150. see that, fords are good for something afterall

Snow's plenty here Drive an 02 ext cab Silverado 4wd of course! Also use it to pull the boat in summer run a 383 in that. REALLY sucks to put the vette away for 5 months

This will be my first winter with the C4 so I'll see what happens. I commute to work by train/ ferry so I can always walk to the train station if the snow is too deep. If I need to get out I use my wife's Lincoln LS. And if there is too much snow I just stay home until the roads are clear.

I am not a waxer I drive my Corvette! However, you got to love the guys that park their Vettes most of the year, it leaves so much life in the car for the next owner

Cool - it came with XM radio (love it) and OnStar. I let the OnStar expire and the bastards call me every few days trying to get me to sign up again. It is worthless as far as I am concerned.
