Thats how its done. I saw an episode of viva la bam and he was driving his lambo from chicago to philly in the snow. I used to love driving my 98 ss in the snow. Now I drive my 2010 ss in the snow. You have to actually pay attention and try to drive instead of eating a pop tart while playing nintendo ds as you read text messages.

ohhh IC, makes sense. The only ZR1's I have seen in person have been that DARKER Cyber Grey and I did not even notice the roof. I was spending too much time looking at the hood lol.

I will say I wouldn't have taken my C4 out in the snow. Just not ideal when people try to buzz past you doing 90, not to mention it's hardly justifiable to buy a set of snow tires when Texas only sees snow like 2-3 days a year. Then again, I have a bigass beefy van to drive in back conditions.

O'rly? You must be the only "no one" in that case
60k miles, ran like a top, cleaner and better running than 95% of the C5/4th gen crowd.

In some states it's the law to have snow tires.

And if you have that much money to buy them cars and not snow tires.....you deserve to get into an accident.

Anyhow now I know why car insurance is so high.

I daily drive my car. Just make sure you have tread and good all weather tires or your going no where. It reminds me of driving a go cart on a slick track
