I saw a C5 out the other day, all slathered with slush and salt spray. I have the itch, too, but I'll be waiting until March to bring my car home.
Looks like yours has a nice hibernating spot! |

In short... Yes...
I had snow tires on mine and we used to drive it all winter. Had it in up to a half a foot of snow, and it just dug and went! Funny thing, I happen to know somebody who has a set of wheels and snow tires for sale. [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/BG528/Nastyweather.jpg[/IMG] DG |

The biggest problem I was having was getting the snow knocked down far enough to clear the air damn up front. That's about as far as I could shovel before all the packed ice. The one time I had to drive in the snow it was a white knuckle experience all the way but tires do make the difference. |

If you could believe it, my Impala is seriously worse. That's one of the reasons I also have the Monte Carlo. Next year I will probably get snow tires for the C6, but for the time being it is useless in the snow with the summers on it.

Wow, I thought the Impala would be better then the Vette. I know my 1/2 ton short box 4x2 is a real joke in any snow. |

I was working on getting all the snow off. I had to re-tighten everything after all that heavy snow.
When I was assembling it I was climbing all over the frame. It is pretty solid believe it or not. |
