First snow drive of the season here too. All went well! I did a quick rinse off of some dirt and glad there was no salt yet.

In my younger days I drive my Vettes in the snow, but not anymore. I have a DD for those chores.

Haven’t had to put my car away for it’s winter nap just yet - but that time is coming.

I found something worse than salt, slushy cow manure / mud mess on the road. A farm was transporting crap to the fields and I should have turned around to go a different way LOL

Not a Corvette, but a 73 Convertible Mustang and a 71 MG...after this snowstorm, I bought an old Jeep CJ for the winter!
