    Looks like you're taking the 10 to 15 to 70 to 76 to 80 route. The biggest challenge will be getting through the Rocky Mountains west of Denver. Did you guys get snow tires for the 'Vette?

    Whoops, ok I missed this post http://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/corvette-stingray/2014/long-term-road-test/2014-chevy-corvette-stingray-winter-tires.html

    Glad you guys got winter tires for the journey, good luck and drive safe!

    Wow in 3 months' time you guys will have racked up about 13K miles! This might be one of the highest mile 12 month long term test cars. It's going to be a lot of fun but your residual is out the window.

    I wonder how the NAV, when confronted with an image of a large chunk of North America, selects which three cities to identify.

    legacygt, I was thinking the exact same thing. May as well have shown Albuquerque, St Paul, and Baltimore.

    Sorry, Baltimore would be covered by a black rectangle. How about Eugene, OR?

    This trip is nuts - I did I-70 between Denver and Grand Junction today in an F-150 4x4 with new snows and it was challenging. I passed dozens of spun off cars and some chained up 18-wheelers that were stuck anyway. Unless that Corvette has a lift kit in addition to the snow tires (and maybe chains) I doubt it's going to be in Detroit on Sunday.

    The problem wasn't falling snow, it was blowing snow - half a mile behind the snow plow there would be 8 inch drifts, and miles of white-out where I intermittently couldn't see anything beyond the windshield wipers....white road, barrier, ditch and sky offered almost no contrast, and then the snow blowing over the barrier and across the windshield was like having a snow blower discharging on the glass.
