Camaro's aren't meant for snow!!!

Had some snow in NJ and I had to literally leave my Cam PARKED on the street and walk home. Couldn't make it up a little hill. 323 hp dead. Now I see why everyone stores them for the winter. Lol. To bad this is my everyday car. Just had to vent !!!

No, no snow tires. This is my first Camaro. Didn't know I needed them. I'm going to have to look into that.

Gotta love the Jersey snow - at least today it isn't the ice storm we had a few days ago.

She will be sitting right there covered in snow until it all melts off - lol

and there is a whole thread dedicated to winter tires here -->
