Up in New England the new calcium/salt/methelethylbadshit they put on the rds in the winter time destroys the bottoms of cars. That being said if there is no rain in the forecast my car is the DD. If theres a chance of rain I will take the truck, mostly because my car is black and hard enough to keep clean as it is. Also wouldn't subject my car to this...

DD here, have a truck for nasty days.....
The Camaro makes my commute, lunch break and any other reason to get out of the office enjoyable.

There's nothing about the car that makes it unsuitable for daily use

This is my 2012 1SS LS3:

I drive mine every day. Recommend you run an all season or winter tire. Your PZeros will not cut it in NJ. I run these.

Daily Driver! I drive mine in the winter of Chicago too! I definitely do not look like the guy that posted the facebook video - that was funny though.

I am getting myself some snow tires this winter just so I don't have to pray so much on each turn.

The only thing is camaro in snow storm is just a poor time because no mater what you do you are spinning wheels somewhere.
