Want to throw up in your mouth a little?

My truck is in the shop for transmission repairs. I was blesssed to drive the vette into work today during an incredible snow storm. Wet, slushy roads everywhere.

Up until a short while ago, it had several inches of snow covering it. I couldn't see the black vert top for all the virgin white snow covering the car. It'll be repeat tomorrow.

You mean you can actually DRIVE these cars??? and in the snow?

It'll be ok...some soap and water (it won't melt either) and it will look just like new.

When we drove ours home from the NCM delivery, we drove through a snow storm. Vettes are not great in the snow, but with a little care, they will provide safe transit. Enjoy the ride!

That's why I use a rental car when it's in the shop during the winter.

I would rent a car for a couple days before I'd take my Vette out in a snow storm!

I was traveling from Fort Lewis, WA to Fort Gordon, GA after Christmas leave and got caught in the snow storm. I had no choice but to continue through the storm or I wouldn't have made it back in time to sign in from leave.
