Should be at elevations that won't have an effect on the Leavenworth Beer Run but I think it's worth mentioning.

I sure hope not, but if it does can I follow behind you in your silver Z06 snow plow.

I actually have experience driving a Silver Corvette through the mountain passes with snow on the road and no chains. I only have two words...WHITE KNUCKLE.

Some people are just ruthless...

Only time I've ever had my Vette out when there was snow on the ground, I was just 10 ft. down my driveway for a couple of minutes. I couldn't get it back up the driveway.... my tires just kept spinning. If it snows, I'm finding a hotel room!

You know folks, they make snow tires in sizes for our cars...

Only reason I mention it is that we're buying some soonish, as the 'vette is my wife's DD and the summer tires are about useless below 40 degrees.

I know a few local guys who drive theirs year round. For me, that's why I got my WRX!
