It amazes how often stuff like that happens. Chris and I love to go look at cars at dealerships after hours and have come across quite a few cars that a window was left open, doors unlocked, and even keys left in them.

That last picture has someone's personal stuff in it; I don't think it belongs to the dealership. It didn't have a sticker on it either. :eek: Ahhh... love that (snowy) new car smell...:red:

Who the hell drivfes around in winter w/ the sunroof open???

BTW the pics don't bother me, I have seen all kinds of badass cars buried in snow. or driving in it. In fact, here are some pics of a 100k+ ZO6 that we purposely drove in the snow :)

How in the world do you drive a car with that much HP in snow? I tried driving a car with 320 HP in the rain & it kept spinning the rears if I went over 50 MPH...

Ahh the beauty of traction control! :thumb:

hey mrjenson, thanks for posting those snowy SS pics! we missed you, you really like that Torrent eh? Glad to hear you haven't wrapped it around a telephone pole... :lol:
AWD is a good thing in Wisconsin in January I'll bet! :D

Meh... I'm glad I learned to drive in the midwest then, and had some good teachers. All the electromechanical nannies in the world aren't going to help bad drivers. Personally, I've always believed that thoughtful driving and a decent set of tires is what's important. I'd prefer to be the one in charge of what my car is doing. Not to say all those safety features are useless, but I know the median on I-94 et al. is littered with super-safe all weather vehicles after an average snowstorm. I see 'em every year. And I motor on by in my non-ABS, non-traction controlled, 2 wheel drive DD. :p:

C'mon... no matter what your opinion is, the laws of physics favor AWD... good driver, bad driver, etc.

One of the "things" that Chevrolet is very proud of..........the Z06 is a very street driveable "muscle" car. Some of the competitors have street value issues.....so says GM.....and some auto magazines.


But, I personally wouldn't drive my Vette in weather like that UNLESS it was an emergency!!
