Edmonton Owners - Are you going to drive them in the winter?

First of all congrats to all you guys driving around. I'm sure I probably seen a few of you. I just wanted to know if any of you are going to drive you Camaros in winter and if so have you found winter tires yet?

No, just like I don't drive the Lotus in Edmonton in the winter. I have a 4x4 for winter and off roading.

I won't be driving mine in the winter - not too worried about my ability to handle it - i'm more concerned about other people's driving ability (my Charger was backed into, dinged and scraped more times than enough...) I am lucky enough to have a winter beater to drive instead....
