Yes it does. I've been seeing people in their Camaro's daily to and from work. Spotted a woman driving a RJT on Mitthoeffer between 25th and 38th and then another IOM at John Marshall's parking lot. They are out there for sure but I've been parked due to work and no need to get out. We got more snow coming on Sat/Sun and its gonna be a good one too so be safe if you're out there.

I'm seriously looking a relocation to Georgia. Its always been on the table for me and its looking better and better with each passing day. I was talking to a lady friend of mine and she was complaining about it being cold there, saying it got down to 40 degrees but they never get snow. I'm like count me in, I'm there.

I'm going to store mine for the winter this weekend. Drove it to work today with it being a clear day. Going to be a rough 3 months. :(

I know last year I drove mine. I bought it on Dec. 4th and aside from me being hospitalized on Dec. 30th and out of commission for several weeks, I did drive mine when the roads were clear and dry to have mods done at work. I'm garaged but I'll see start it and maybe take it out for a short jaunt to the store etc..... Just can't imagine going the next 17wks without running it.

IROCanSS · 12-09-2010, 09:03 PM

For those of you storing... Don't just go start it and let it warm up and shut it off. That does absolutely no good. Once the engine is cold, it's completely happy staying that way. As long as you have a tender, Park it and only start it when you intend on driving it. I keep mine on a tender but do drive it all year as long as the roads are dry and there is a point to take it. I won't take it to work.

CAMAR0 · 12-12-2010, 11:39 PM

Ran to the store through the 2" fine. So far the most ive tested it in was 4" last year. Its not that bad if you gotta DD it. I Just turn off traction control and let stabilitrac help me dirt track it when needed. Pretty mindless compared to how bad my 3rd gen was. Gto was a little worse than the camaro is due to the directional tread pattern. I guess thats one upside to having these ugly steel wheels.. all season tires.

Edit:
Ok so the 4" today sucked!!!

the weather just sucks. I want to see this rain tomorrow and warmer temps to get rid of this snow.

My little battery tender jr. working like a charm

Mlitemn · 12-20-2010, 03:45 PM

I would not count on it, they are calling for 2-4 inches of snow tonight, and freezing rain for the morning commute.

I know, but this Indy, we never really know what happens, till it happens.

I think I may see more sleet/ice on the southside here.

Can never count on better weather until after the ISHAA Boy's High School Basketball Finals. Until then, everything goes. I know we can expect bad weather up until then. Look for the that January thaw, then a little more snow, an ice storm or two and then sometime in late February early March we'll get a good rain or two to wash away all the sludge, slush and salt. Hate to burst your bubble Hank but more snow coming in on Christmas. Working where I do, we get pretty good weather updates out of Norman, OK.

I know, I know... the weather this Dec. has just sucked. I'm staying in xmas, the wifey will be down visiting her family, so I have the house to myself.. and the car (as she will take my truck). My 'supervisor' will be gone, party at my house LOL.

I could assist, but I would be scared I would break something trying to install it. :( It's sad, but I really don't know my own strength at times and when I got to force something, it breaks, then I get more frustrated.

From what I have read, the sidemarkers are pretty easy to get to (pop out, snap in).. the antenna, maybe a little more tricky. I can't wait to see the CGM with the sidemarkers, I know it will kick it up a little!

I received the black leather guage cover from Indypwr yesterday, and ebrake boot. I will be attempting to install them soon (and OMG, if I break it, I will cry after lots of bad words).
