Mine sat outside all the time especially when I was in college. Today that is considered almost sinful to see those Sting Rays being neglected.....wonder if they are for sale? No car covers on them either....

I find it interesting how our view of these cars changes as they pass from being daily drivers. Even with the 1985, I've heard shock from people when I mention that folks used to routinely drive early C4s in the snow and somehow survived ...

But it was my one and only car at the time, so I had no choice. With all the nannies on the modern cars, I'm thinking it would be not too bad to drive them in a little snow. That 64 liked to swap which end was going forward on ice.
