Patman lives in Canada and daily drives his C5 Vette. Pro Stock John lives in Chicago and daily drives his 02 Z06.

Corvettes make nice daily-drivers!

I used to live in the burbs around chicago. I think daily driving the vette wouldn't be to bad, because even though we sometimes get pretty bad snow, its plowed in hours. Im kinda out in the country now, as i live near rockford, and out hear i dont think its possible because they plow when they feel like it. I have had to drive home before guessing where the road was almost the entire way.

Yep, I drive mine every single day even in the snow! I've got Pirelli P Zero Nero all season tires on it and they work great! The only time I don't drive it is if we get a big snow storm where the roads aren't plowed properly. Otherwise it'll handle up to 4 inches of snow pretty well.
