Off roading
Hi Peeps !! Last weekend I spent big bucks detailing the Vette and yesterday and today heading to work we were diverted from the road to a levee road because of wild fires close to the plant. Not a good idea off-roading on a Vette. Sold my Jeep too soon.

As I drive (15-20 mph) I can hear all the rocks, pebbles scrapping the bottom and my butt just puckers-up, while the cars behind me beeping the horn for me to go faster. My respond, a "friendly" finger

Wouldn't be a happy camper about that.

I wanted to take the Apache Trail from Lake Roosevelt to Apache Junction, east of Phoenix, and when I arrived there, I found out it was 40+ miles of 1 1/2 lane gravel road. So I took the road, very scenic territory, and the vette was fine after I washed it.
Yes, Vettes can survive gravel roads.

As long as there isn't a clearance issue, I have no fear. The rewards have always outweighed the risks.
The summit at Pike's Peak before they paved the last 6 miles. Cleaned up fine the same day.
