It's winter here in the mid Atlantic states. Here in southern PA we got about 2-3 inches of snow during the night. Nice shot of your car helping out. I had an artic white 96 LT1 coupe when I had my black 91 Z. Love those C4 Corvettes.

beauties...by my opinion black and the arctic white are the most elegant colours for C4s. I have promised my wife that I will sell the white C4 (when I will get the black ZR-1), but I am still holding off on it.... We have (here in the middle of europe) under zero during the night, so I wish we will have some snow too.

This was my situation this morning....a little dusting with some black ice in places. This should prove a fun drive into work lol.

I hate the winter. Remember they call them summer tires for a reason.

ZWILD1 · 12-19-2019

Yes winter sucks. I have seen fellow Corvette owners in Canada who drive year round in the snow. They pick the right tires for the conditions. I got caught out in a sudden snow storm driving my 96 coupe. It was not fun with summer tires. I have also driven my first ZR1 in some less than desirable conditions. To think back in the day people drove their C2 and C3 Corvettes in the snow. Now I prefer to have the car stowed away all nice and covered. I really don't want to drive once they coat the road or use salt.

My honest respect to everyone who is daily able to drive the beast on the snow (w/o traction control). For me and my style of driving was enough my old bmw.

Thanks Steve, I enjoy it very much. However I have to wait with regular driving until 1st july, then I will get the classic car registration and plates. The car has been made in june 90 and it shall be older then 30years (before they here register a car as the classic). If I want to drive it now, I would have to modify front and tail lights (cut the wiring and put orange rear blinkers), like on my C4. It is not too nice and I want to keep the car stock as possible. On the other hand I have time to do some minor repairs (like weatherstrips) and educate myself with some recommended literature

I remember driving my 427 in New Hampshire. Always had to have it inspected in December and there was always ice and snow... it was challenging to say the least. The worse part was washing it and wiping the ice off the body. Fun! Then put it away until Spring. I did fire it up in the driveway to keep it lubricated once a month.
