2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray: Driving in a Blizzard

January 24, 2014
Edmunds.com

I called 911. I didn't know what else to do.

The nice man that answered my call said, "911, what is your emergency?" I said I was sorry to bother him, but my car is stuck in the snow and I'm essentially blocking Interstate 70 eastbound somewhere between Vail and Frisco.

He said, "OK, sir. You did the right thing calling us. We'll send out a tow truck as quickly as we can. Please stay in your vehicle. What color is your car?"

"Green," I said.

"And what kind of car is it?"

I paused. I didn't want to tell him. I knew he would think I'm an idiot for driving a Corvette through Colorado in January during a blizzard. "A Chevy," I said.

"What kind of Chevy, sir?"

I paused again. "A Corvette."

And with a snicker he said, "OK, sir. We'll be there as soon as we can."

I realize that the car is relatively new and tires aren't cheap but I was caught in the February blizzard in the Northeast last winter .My tires we're Michelin AS and the car went fine .

At least the SFB had enough sense to put on winter tires or he would have never even made it half as far as he did.....
