It's snowing at my house today. I hate the stuff. The winter time blues get me every year. I need to move south...

I too hate winter. I miss my 06 VERT that's in storage for the winter. : I may have to go to the storage facility just to look at it and sit in it.
Hope it will help the withdrawal symptoms.

^^ Same, just sitting in the drivers seat will make my day.

2020 was tough enough as it was, but getting my Z made it better, now that she's in storage the blues are really setting in.

Weather has certainly been nice enough in Boise. Trouble is, I was lucky enough to dislocate my right arm from my shoulder recently, so with a manual, I’m out. I might feel better about it if there was three feet of snow!

I'm fortunate to have a heated garage so my plans include getting a few things done with the car.

Winter makes you love your car even more when spring hits & you press the start button for the 1st time

I drive mine in Winter unless the roads are nasty. We don't usually get a lot of the bad stuff, so I normally don't go through withdrawls.

I lived in south Louisiana for most of my life. I moved to Kentucky (just across the river from Cincinnati) about 7 years ago. I have had my fill of southern summers of +95F heat, 100% humidity, and swarms of mosquitos. The summer heat lasts from April to October. Where I live now, we get enough snow to appreciate it but it doesn't last more than a month or two. Still get 95F summers but that only lasts about a month.

And you don't have to worry about hurricanes here. Went to Louisiana over Christmas, and the southwestern side of the state looks beat to hell from the two that hit just a few months ago.

I live in Utah. My Corvette's go into storage sometime in November and usually come out sometime in April.

Meh, Once I get another vette if I'm still in NY I'm driving it year round. Life is too short.

I feel your pain. I live just NW of Atlanta where I can drive my 06 M6 year round. I had it modded last January and had to have rotator cuff surgery in February. My car sat for six weeks!

Much warmer in the southwest part of your state. You could be driving it still, hypothetically, if you lived there. I see that hi temps this week there are in the 60's !

Had mine out today.. Been a pretty mild winter in the Philly area. No snow or salt on the ground means the GS will stretch its legs.
