We just took a trip to TN to take care of some business and we rented a car. The forecast called for freezing rain with plenty of ice. Thankfully the weather didn't get too nasty until after we arrived. The following morning our rental car had a pretty good layer of ice all around.

All I could think about was there's no way in hell I would ever live in that kind of frozen hell. Even if it were only seasonal. Hell no. I will keep our butts in FL where I can enjoy my Bee most of the time of the year.

I enjoy my Camaro everyday also, Screw that letting it sit for half a year , No Way

As for winter and snow driving with the camro - yeah, guess it depends where you live. I run Blizzaks on my Trailbalzer and going home there are some hills (my driveway included) that without the 4WD there is just no way I am making it. If you are a flatlander I'm sure you could squeak by with a good set of tires and good throttle modulation. Me, I hate throtle modulation .... I wanna hit it, hook up and launch . Of course evry now and then drifitng is fun too . Guess camaros in the snow are good for that!

and, Fairnot - uh, never seen a sight like that on the slopes up here. If I did I'd never even be in my camaro because I'd be skiing all the time .
