Dude has got to take his foot off the gas once in awhile. Looks like he's trying to do a burnout.

Full Trottle ahead Skipper! What's the saying about fix'en stupid. Well maybe I'll cut him some slack. He is a Texan, with little or no snow driving skills.
This is why we park them for 4/6 months. Only thing is he will be able to drive it a week from now. Is there ever going to be a snow melt?

I seen that on the news,I could not believe he was out in that with a vette. I guess you live and you learn.

Don't know why he was out in those conditions in his Vette but I am sure he will avoid it at all cost in the future.

I have had my 05 c6 stock in the snow and if your are not an idiot and floor it the whole time and tire placement you can usually get from point a to b but I only drive the vet in the snow when I get stuck out with it otherwise I drive the hummer - surprisingly it does a lot better

He lives in Texas. Its probably his only car. A winter beater in Texas is a waste of money for the most part.

I live in Dallas and that guy has been on the tv about 20 times. Taking my vette out in the ice and snow was not number one on my priority list and I was stuck at home for 3 days without being able to get out. And yes we do have a suv but no one can drive on ice. We have trouble here in Dallas just driving when it rains LOL.
