Coldest I've driven mine is -5° which is about 28°F I think. Met a ZL1 in the morning that same day. Soon to have winter tires and I'll be driving in -30°F!!!

So how was the drive?

It was about 300 miles to get home. The drive felt like it took forever because I was afraid to push it and hurt the tires. I wanted so bad to open it up. But it is in the garage waiting for some warm weather. Only 26F for a high here today.

Glad to hear you got the new ride home safely. What I'm concerned about now is the possibility of having your temps drop into the teens. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there an issue of the tires cracking in low temps last year? Unless you have a warm garage, I'd consider putting the car on jacks and bring the wheels inside.

Glad to hear you had time to sit in your car

When I brought mine home it was a down pour of Rain!!!

Although I would rather drive in rain than icy/snow. Good to know you got home safe, I am sure you will have plenty of time to bake off those tires.

Again congrats and enjoy, Happy Thanksgiving.
