Mine will see its fair share of rain. I will avoid snow if I can help it, but we don't get that much here on the west coast. Having a 3rd vehicle (Jeep) really is nice for routine trips like going grocery shopping, fighting traffic downtown, driving to work, bad weather, etc.

But really, these cars are meant to be driven. No hard feelings or judgement for those who drive the piss out of these things. You can't take 'em with ya, and they won't last forever anyhow.

No snow. Only seen rain the day I drove it from the dealership. Garage kept everyday since.

I would love too...there are 2 things stopping me though. (we live in VA)

1. Our driveway is at a slight downhill angle and to be honest getting even up a slight hill on 100% ice is way too much to risk sliding sideways and hitting one of the other 2 camaros next to me

2. My mother, I'm only 19...don't need much of an explanation there (and NO, its not cause of my age, motherly instincts) and she pretty much forces my dad to take the truck, no matter how much we try to convince her its a "valuable learning experience."

*shrug* I still got some enjoyment on ice around town while it lasted.

Thumbs up Take it out of the wrapper and drive it folks!

I live in Colorado, and I didn't buy this car to leave it sit in a garage to be stared at, I bought it to drive it, that's where the fun lies! I drive in the rain, wind, sleet and snow. No hail though! Just got to be careful and clean it often. They don't use salt in Colorado Springs, just sand. All you need is a good set of snow tires. I use Scorpion ice and snows, so far so good.

6 months of snow on the roads every year, so we are driving it. It is great on the ice and snow. Not much worry about other trafic. I counted the trafic on the 3 mile drive to work this morning and only got to 1.

I'm curently in the U.S. Army and stationed in Virginia but from South Dakota. My Wifes car is an 05 Dodge Magnum RT with all seasons and studed winter tires, (IF) it gets that bad to use them which it never does here. My car is the Camaro SS with stock tires and Unfortunatly I cant offord winter tires for it right now and its only needed once or maybe twice a year here. I recently drove her in the snow and it was definetly SCAREY with the stock tires, so much so the next day we got up early to take Her to work so I could take the Magnum to work and then pick her back up from work in the Magnum (A PAIN IN THE A$$). But ufortunatly I'm not in the possition to have the best of both Worlds (Wich would be Garge my Camaro and drive something else during Winter). Soooo mines an all year car. YES... I cry when I see all the salt on her and it will be a month before I can wash her, BUT in MY position it is a question of --1, Own something else to drive all year, Orrrr--2, Own my Sweeeet Camaro and drive her all year. I choose #2, better to own and have to worry about fixing her due to driveing her in the winter, than to not have owned and drove her at all. When I retire in a few years and go back to South Dakota it will be a must to get Winters for her because even then she still will be my main way to get to work. But boy it sure is a dream of mine to just Garage her till spring and drive a junker till then but it just isnt in the cards right now.
