[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 100953, member: 2217"] Not being familiar with the local weather in Ontario, I can only read through the obvious popularity of Corvette winter driving with awe. Even if I wasn't concerned about traction, clearance, and the chloride infused chip sand used on the roads here, I would still be embarrassed to see myself driving down the snow covered roads and the slick glazed ice intersections, and watch people point and laugh at the dufus (me) driving his Corvette in those conditions. But humour me because that is Alberta. We don't plow roads here. We allow snow to get packed by traffic in multiple layers until the winter's depth of snowfall has built up much higher than the sidewalks. The wheel tracks of course wear down somewhat to the point that even my SUV is apt to high center at the very least by early January. Thus, for the brief couple of weeks that I would possibly be able to winter drive my Corvette, I also would not jeopardize my possibly incorrect assumption that most Corvette aficionados would not purchase a used Vette that was winter driven in Alberta's climate, at least not if the truth be told and not for market value. But as I said, this is Alberta. Ok... Wife says I have to go to the store... Nope... Corvette is staying in the man cave...I'll take my winter beater instead.... :Biggrin: [ATTACH=full]7142[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
