Winter driving experience
Just want to share my winter experience.
Its been a tough winter so far. My SS has been my dd since my winter beater died a while ago. However let me tell you that I couldnt be happier. Shes been a tank. I've passed cars and suv's being stucked on highways and streets like a charm. Driven through 25-30 cms of snow. You just gotta take it easy on the pedal. Feels super safe. While driving on blizzards conditions, I feel I have total control. Stabilitrac and traction control kicks in everytime you need it and makes a huge difference. HUD tells you which system its been used at the time either stabilitrac and/or traction control. Only thing that worries me are other unexperienced drivers, other than that, the SS has been fantastic. I have the blizzaks lm-60 on. I wish there was like a block heater option so cold starts wouldnt be too tough on her. I normaly run 94 octane gas (from petro canada) on her, but during winter i stick to 91. She receives a car wash at least once per week or everytime I can (min 1/week). and has krown protection and 3M as well. P.S. I apologize if there are sideway pictures, I dont know why they get uploaded that way, Ive trying to fix it but no idea how. So if you know how to fix it, please do, I would greatly appreciate. Im uploading from my laptop. P.S 2: that stingray, I spotted it while driving with my sister. He didnt have winters on ! Anybody driving their camaros in the winter ? |

Second winter, second blizzard with my 1SS. I almost got stuck...once. A snowplow made me stop on an unplowed, steep hill. Dumb sonovabitch almost got stuck himself.

Canada forces everyone to buy winters. As much as I am libertarian, I've already seen so many moronic posts on this site by Camaro owners driving their summers in snow that I could scream.
