My friends laugh at me, but I won't take the vette out in the cold weather not because I'm overly protective of the car, but because 405HP in the cold weather on cold tires and a cold road could very easily result in the car getting sideways VERY VERY quickly, despite the traction control and active handling.

But Gresch, this is Nice, the French riviera. There is no cold weather over there. Did you see the palm trees? The last time I can remember about Nice having got snow was during winter 1984.. extremely unusual. But you are right, losing control on a car like this one is very easy. I still think this is irresponsible though. As I said many pedestrian walk on the "Promenade des Anglais" in Nice.
