We don't get a whole lot of snow here, so when we do, we are all like kids that have to go out and play in it. I would definitely play in the snow in my vette! Cautiously of course!

We had early snow here, last year, before I could get it into storage. When the roads were dry I got it there immediatley!
Now I waited too long again! Same deal. I really like driving it in the fall, no bugs to clean off! http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...z/DSC01898.jpg |
I just bought this 76 and had to drive 400 km back to Halifax.

Yup, I drove it in the snow. Quite fun too.
First pic is snowed an inch or two, then switched to freezing rain which made for pretty nasty conditions. Passed several 4WD vehicles that were in the ditch on the way into work. |
Drive my vette in the snow? Never! That is what the Avalanche is for.
It can't run now anyway wit no engine it.:D |
First three years this was my driver, no problems with snow/ice.
Wife also drove it in the snow. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p.../Vetinsnow.jpg |
I got lucky and was born in Florida. No snow and great sunny drives year round.

The last time I checked these Corvettes are not made of "Cotton Candy", they will not melt in rain, sleet, snow or ice.
As I looked underneath the under carriage of my 1976 Corvette it has been driven in winter. Big deal, North America has snow. Do your drive your Corvette 12 months of the year? Who cares. If it is not rotting through the frame and body mounts you have no issues IMHO. Rain is inevitable. I always laughed at car owner clowns that said the car was "never driven in rain" H'mm. I have been caught out in the rain just walking down the street, I am sure they had a bit farther to drive to put the Vette away in a safe haven before it dissolved. Back to reality, do what you can to protect your investment. It can all come down to a simple tarp or a full blown storage facility. Protect your investment and it will pay you back 10 fold. |

You should never own something that is just too precious to use. When that is the case, then, IT owns YOU. |
I'm in Trail BC Canada. Here is a pic of my 79 sideways.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ps1e527b5c.jpg My first Corvette was a 1969 and that was in 1970. It was my only car so I drove it to work every day. It was a 427 with an auto and with 4 studded snow tires it would go through almost anything. C3's are actually really good in snow. :cheers: |
