I saw this dude out and about yesterday and had to take a picture. My Vette is all tucked away in my garage sleeping for the winter, but this dude uses his for a winter car. I don't think it would handle very well on the snow.2626099.JPG

When I lived in Omaha I found it funny that folks would 'stowe' their cars when it snowed. And nobody drove in the snow. I found myself virtualy alone on the road, save for the snowplows and had a blast slippin and slidin all over the place.....things I would get busted for out here. Ah the Midwest.

I'm not sure about the Vette. My Mustang has a hard time getting traction on wet road let alone snow!

By "in my garage" do you mean "back at Enterprise Rent-A-Car?"

That dude has to be either very good or a dumb ass driver. With that much power in the rear, this car is so frisky. Hell, I almost lost it on a rainy day when I went for a test drive....

Robert - I sold the Geo, tax refunds came and white trash were on that thing likes flies on sh*t. I miss it in a sad kind of way.

I saw something similar a year or two ago, but it was a Lamboghini. I took a pic, but I can't find it.

My pops used to drive a z28 everyday from Denver up past Empire(mountains US 40), he did lose it and almost die a time or two over the years and he is a great driver.....those cars run on z rated tires made for hauling azz on dry pavement.....no good in snow.

I store my racing van in the winter and drive the toyota. if you get stuck you don't need anyone to help you out.... just get the accelerator to stick then jump out, push and lift.

If it ever were to snow in San Diego, I'd surely park the Solstice GXP.

Well, I'd probably at least put the top up.

Probably.

Several years ago Car & Driver or Automobile magazine did some winter driving tests with a corvette. It must've been back when they came out with traction control. IIR, the article made it sound like it wasn't that bad of a winter driver. LOL I don't remember if they swapped out the tires or not...which would make a HUGE difference...but not enough for me to want to drive one in the snow.
