D'oh!!!
So I did the idiotic today... It's been snowing the past few days here in Michigan and after parking my Camaro this morning I turned to look back and saw a lot of snow lodged up between the front wheel well and the tire... What do I instinctively do? I kick the rocker panel to knock the snow loose!!!
 I couldn't believe what I had just done! My only defense is that my last vehicle was a Nissan Xterra and it was commonplace. I had to apologize profusely to my Camaro for the display of domestic abuse. Come on, fess up. I know I cant be the ONLY one to do this. (only those in snow covered states need reply  )

I did that once when I lived in Anchorage, and ripped the fender flare off my car...

I used to do that all the time. I get to park in a heated garage at work now, so lately I just let it melt off.

I do it daily to my car, but will never do it to the Camaro, because it will never see snow. Props to you for conquering the snow in a Camaro though

Sorry, you're the only one...
I've always done that to my Jeep... I've taken the Camaro to a DIY car wash w/ hot high pressure water to force any excess snow or ice off.

I have but only when it is absolutely needed! Try to kick the snow without hitting the car, but sometimes shit happens. No damage so far!
