Will You Be Driving Your Camaro This Winter?

What do you do to prepare for the long cold road ahead?
What's the coldest it gets in your state?

I live down a 2 mile long gravel road, in the mountains.

The tires do NOT like cold weather.

But you can have some fun on some ice in these cars!

Yes I'll be driving her all winter.

I put on a coat and go out and enjoy the car just as I do the rest of the year, but usually not with the top down and only when there is no snow or forecast for snow..... thats what I bought the Tracker for

I will be driving it year round. I have a set of heritage rims sitting in my living room right now, I just have to save up to get some winter tires.

Good news is, if I'm going to powder coat my current 19" rims, it will be a great time to do that!

When I lived in Florida if it got below 60, people freaked out. Brought out big puffy ski jackets from a trip to the mountains ten years ago... whined incessantly.. it was funny.

+1

It has already been in the low 30s (F) a couple times here. Winter can bring some zero and slightly below zero mornings.
