I drive mine in the winter here in Colorado but I never drive it when it snows or if there is even a chance in the forcast that it's going to snow.

I don't drive in the winter here in Idaho. Park the vette from about November 1 till April unless we have really nice weather.

I asked exactly the same question last year and ended up buying a 2000 ford exploder. Just as well really as we got quite a bit of snow in Seattle last December (more than usual, obviously not as much as other areas).

I live in middle earth...uh!... wait a minute...sorry......middle Tennessee and I drivemy '87all year unless it's raining or there is snow on the roads. Actually the rain is worse than the snow with the 40's all around. Talk about hydro-planing.

I put it away around thanksgiving here in northern Indiana and get it out around April. There are plenty of days in between that I could drive it but I'm afraid that the crap that they put down for the snow and ice will eat up the car. I don't even drive the vette if it's going to rain.

I have a 4WD tundra with snow tires for the winter. Plus I put snow tires on my dd (a Camry) in the winter and drive it if the roads are not going to be real bad.

13 of my 15 years driving nothing but sports cars year round, the 4wd has spoiled me for the last 2

...if there is snow down ora threat of it, I think I will put Vader in the garage and pull out Ol' Bessie;)

I don't drive my Vette if there is a chance of any bad weather (snow, rain, etc...). I will however drive it during the winter if there is no snow on the ground and I'm getting tried of going to work in a 4 door sedan everyday.
