I work at GM. I'll get a nice discount on my 16 when I get bored with my 14. Enjoy having 2 cars, or however many it is that makes you so chest puffy.

Oh and I'll drive my 16 in the snow too.

Sounds like you have everything planned. Keep me posted on the many Camaros your buying.......

It's actually probably going to be an XT5, not a Camaro.

So you are trading in the '14 Camaro for the '16 Caddy? No more Camaro for u? It's how I understood the context of it.

Just curious. (cigarette)

I had a good chuckle as I drove by in my jalopy.

Really? I guess he was just jealous not driving something that awesome in the winter. Let me guess he had all seasons hehe.

I was doing a very poor job of making a point. If I like the 16 Camaro, I'll get it. If I don't, I'll end up with the XT5 (assuming it looks like less of a mom wagon than the SRX does)

I got questioned at a light and at the pump this winter on "how is it in the snow?"

They weren't ready for - "it goes through snow like a tank".

JCunningham · 02-21-2015, 11:44 PM

the reason why he yelled at you is because the majority of people driving cars like this in the winter are driving on summer only tires and thats very irresponsible and should be against the law.

My friends didnt believe me, about how good this car is in the snow. That is until it snowed 3 feet while we were playing a show at a bar in Worcester. We were there all day for set up and what not. Drummer and guitarists, Camry and Celica couldn't even make it out of the parking lot. I said OK lets take mine, they laughed. And continued laughing at how amazing it handled and how it made it through about 2 feet of unplowed snow on a wrong turn road. Love this car with Blizzaks.

This idiot would have had an aneurism if this was the 60's when pretty much everything was RWD except the toronado and elderado twins. No traction control or advanced tires either.

From what I hear, people had more common sense back then. Nowadays you have guys driving in Vans with all seasons screaming at guys in performance snow tires. Oh well.

I don't take my baby out in the rain, cold or after dark.
Folks here can barely drive on sunny, warm days so why tempt fate.
They respect my old hit-me-i-need-the-money 4wd Suburban though.
