I had the Vette out for an hour yesterday, here along the mason-dixon. Don't plan to miss any driving time, anytime soon.

I'm here in coastal RI, and do not lay up for the winter. I drive it year round as long as the ground is the right color (not white). For those other days, it's Blazer time.

Drove Marco to work yesterday....was in the mid 60's. We've had 3 cold fronts in a row pass through and drop snow (which my feline friend up north has been quick to point out ) but it looks like things are warming up.

I don't know how you guys up north do it....I'd go insane walking out in the garage and seeing a Corvette that I couldn't drive for 3 more months.

I'll only cover mine up if it is snowing, or if the roads are covered..... soon as its plowed, she will be back out.

PA has been nice to us so far, only one snow storm on Halloween. But today its in the mid 30s.... and the vette makes alot of noise when its cold. HA!

Here there is no snow on the ground or roads and the dirt roads are frozen. If the heat worked as well as the Impala I would still be driving it.

Just terrible weather here all long weekend. Temps in the upper 70s, low 80s. Everyday we took out the vette with the windows down and, by the way, top down also!! We have a very long driving season here, it starts each January 1 and runs through each December 31. I guess that is one of the reasons we have over 60,000 vettes registered in AZ. Wish you were all here.

Still my DD here in CT. Gets much better gas mileage than my 05 F-150 and is so much more fun to drive. So far no need for 4x4. Just got my new snowmobiles so it better start snowing in VT though. I'll drive the Vette all winter as long as there is no snow on the road

I never put mine away and will take them out anytime year round except when there is salt on the roads. I only lose about 3 weeks of seat time a year
