Thanks.I keep my C6 on the road all winter. I have the Advanced handling and F-55 so I'll be ok. I drove it last winter, as long as the snow is plowed no problem.As for me, i'm a Viet nam vet and an electronic musician and computer artist.Love my C6...

Aren't you guys worried about all the salt and sand they put on the roads in the winter? Around here, even in a relatively mild winter, the gravel mixture they put down after a snowfall tends to stay laying around until April, when they finally get street sweepers out, leading to rock chips and dings on the windshield. And that's just on local streets.

On the highways around here, they put down Mag-Chloride, a syrup-y mixture that's designed to keep ice from forming. And the side effect is when it splashes on anything chrome, nickel or aluminum, it starts turning it blue.
:ugh

How about some pictures?

I'll second that!

Only salt here. Really good Laser wash with underbody flush? Polymer coating on paint, clear bra.
I think it's ok.

Hi, Rik! Welcome to CAC!

Thank you for your service to our country. I can only imagine what it was like in Vietnam. Glad you are here!

I drive mine on nice days all through the winter. I am in Chicago, so I have to be careful of people sliding and slamming their cars into me!

Exactly! I have all the nanny stuff but most do not! I drive after the snow is plowed, and only after I'm sure it's safe. But I had no problems last year.

Nice pictures Rik. I put about 300 lbs of sand bags in the back end of mine. It seems to help a little.
