I got tired of getting 10 miles per gallon on 105 octane racing fuel my truck eats so I go the Camaro out. I had planned to take the Camaro back to winter storage but I had life get in the way. Just to show me I am lazy this happened over night.

That's why we have defrosters

Can’t tell from the photo, I live in an incredibly flat part of Ohio, my driveway is over 8* of incline, my wife just went down in her all wheel drive TrailBlazer just slid down. The ice was very thin and melted by the time I got going at the butt crack of noon.

Yeah, now that you mention it, the incline is confusing. Blame that on all the iPhones users taking goofy angled images.

Get some ice melt. I like Saf-T-Salt. Works quickly, isn't really salt, so it won't kill your lawn. Spark the vehicle up, spread the stuff out and in 10 minutes, by the time the windows defrost, and you brush off the rest, you will crunch through the ice.
A light coating will do, don't overload it or the salt-substitute becomes slippery.

MY Camaro will NEVER see snow....it has NEVER seen snow since day 1, and seeing how I always have it laid up during the "off months", I KNOW it'll never see snow!!

Nightmares of the ‘winter of 1978’ when my then baby, a 442, was nearly buried in snow. Then, the snow plows finished the job. Weeks before I could get to it. No thanks.

The best part about having a garage... Camaro stays warm and dry.

You are evil!!!

My Camaro sees only snow from inside its garage except it lives a few miles away from where I live, my Jeep has the garage here, I was just too lazy to go get my truck. Tomorrow it will go in for a long winter nap. Everything else I own has a transfer case so driving that yellow thing in snow would be suicidal.
I may have a chance to drive it the first week of January but after that cold and snow are going to set in and takeover the Great Lakes & Ohio area.

No snow for me.... warm and dry, hibernating for the winter...

I need a toolbox like that! Not having the right tool for the job is the worst!

One doesn't always need the "right tool" for the job....there are MANY ways to put ones' creative hat on, and alter what you already have, or come up with something different that will successfully complete the task!! Besides, buying a "special" tool for a job that's only gonna be done ONCE will more than likely be expensive!
