because its a car. not everyone has the luxury of having multiple vehicles for different seasons. the camaro is by no means a collectors car, sure its cool but its not going to go up in value, might as well enjoy it.

No not a collectors car but with the weather still kicking around central Canada, it's pretty risky driving a camaro (hopefully not stupid enough to drive an SS with summer tires).

There is no point in driving a Camaro in the snow, never has been, you can't enjoy it for what it is when you can't control it. You're just ruining it, if you can afford a car like this you can afford a winter beater, I cringe whenever I see people driving any sports car in the winter.

Seriously though, I don't understand how or why people drive their cars into the ditch during winter. Is it it just lack of experience or sheer stupidity. The tires on the SS/ LT with RS package are clearly not rated for roads that are in anyway at all slightly icy or covered in snow but I guess some people are just too asinine to even take that into consideration. I'm 18 and I've never, ever thought the solution to hitting ice on the roads is A. speed up or B. Slam on the brakes. If someone can enlighten me that would be great. |
