Okay, can't resist, but you may mean for me to "buy" a mustang or something. However, my car can easily pass right "by" you.

"Bye" now. : rolleyes:

But you are right, it is just a car, not like it is a 2SS/RS convertible or anything nice like that.

Thank you.
You can not even come back to say you sorry with out putting you foot in your mouth again. A 2ss /rs convertible is still a car nothing else. Just what I do not like convertibles. If was left to me they would not be made. Now show me where I put them down or say any bad about them You won't.

darn autocorrect.

but what I meant was that there is no room here for those that are going to put down someone else because of the Camaro they have. Who cares if you have a 2SS/RS 'vert? You. It's a nice car, but come on. I'd drive a 2SS Vert in the winter if I had one. If nothing else, just to spite you.

I'll say it: you, tonyko1, are an arrogant, pompous, prick. Or at least that is how you are coming across here. Wow....you have a 2SS vert. Go brag about that on a Vette forum. Do us all a favor a work on your people skills, of which, you seem to have none now. Just my $0.02

Something a little more cost effective but makes a lot more road noise would be a set of tire chains, but I would only use them if the conditions were icy or good amount of snow coverage on the roads.

Back to the thread? or IBTL?

I bought my 2LT/RS on April 1, 2010. In November of 2010, I switched out the P-Zeros for all season Parada Spec-X. I didn't like the loss of traction I experienced when the temperature dropped into the 30s.

I drive my car year round, and I've driven it in snow. Winters here aren't like winters up north (I'm from Buffalo, and I've driven in some severe weather there... go look up the Blizzard of '77. I drove a 1970 Camaro through that...)

My car handles fine in winter weather. A separate set of wheels and tires for winter only would be a bonus, but with the all seasons, I have no trouble at all. In my own opinion, and with my driving experience, if I had stayed on the P-Zeros, I would be extremely careful in cold temperatures, and a bit apprehensive with more than an inch or two of snow.

C'mon people....I'm not feeling the Camaro spirit here. Maybe everyone who is involved in some form of humblebrag or belittlement state of mind should back off and take a few breaths....and follow the

You can throw a tire chain. And then it is off to the body shop you go, after the chain flails your rear quarters, with uh, a chain. I'd recommend a different solution

They're illegal for on road use, in most places. (most places=non mountains)

Thank you.
That's your opinion, I personally think the Convertible looks like shit on the new Camaro.

If there were an " inccident " AND YOU WERE ON Summer Tires ONLY in winter conditions I think your insurance company will leave you faster than slush melts.
