Arizona, hmm. Well I was on the Gulf Coast of Alabama for New Year's eve and I still wore a sweatshirt. It wasn't freezing, in the 40's I think. Then I came home and it's somewhere in the 20's right now.
I ran out to get something to eat earlier and the car read 26 degrees. I've got the stock ZL1 tires on there that are only rated to 40 degrees. Now I'm used to them not having any traction below about 60 degrees no problem. But in these temperatures I noticed that I was actually feeling bumps in the road a lot more. Because of tires? That was my thought, could be something else I suppose. I know this, I as of now don't really like driving my car in this cold, my rear end never really warmed up and was clunking during tight turns the whole time. I don't like my car making clunk noises.

I drive it in the winter here in Idaho. But it's not going to see the snow, ever. Heck, I hate driving it in the rain! Good thing I have a pickup too.

This is my fourth winter in my 2011 2SS/RS. It currently has 103,000 miles on it and is my DD. If you have not driven a Camaro with good snow tires (Blizzak) in the winter, you are missing out. Mine is awesome in the snow! Detroit just got 6 inches dumped on it and the city of Detroit has no money to pay for salt or plowing. I had no problems getting work in the snow and ice. There were a lot of wrecked cars on the road in........

You know it's cold when the HUD has to warm up!

I just saw that message yesterday (when it was a high of around 12 during the day, and -1 at night).
And today, the HUD has stopped working entirely. I'm hoping it's only temporary, as I've read of temporary problems before. I've also read where they have to rip the dash out to replace if it's broken permanently...fingers crossed. |
