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. |

If your serious, which I doubt
I've got snow on the 16in rims, were hard to get at the time. 17's are actually easier to get. Just make sure you WASH it afterwards  BTW That portable garage looks like it needs a little attention. Neighbor's racecar got all messed up when his collapsed  |

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. |
