That happens to that dealer every year. They seem to always place the Camaro's or corvette's right there. I will never buy a car from them because of the clear and blatant negligence.

Oof that's a sad sight.
I started looking at Camaro's last February. Stopped by the one dealer here in MN near me that showed a 1LE in inventory. It had obviously been on the lot all winter. Cracked tires, sand and mud dragged into the interior from the lot guys moving it around. To top it all off, they wouldn't even deal on it...

The issue really isnt the cleanliness of the cars, but the R compound tires sitting out in fairly poor weather conditions (super cold).
With that said, my 1LE will never even see rain, so to see this is quite alarming ha. I would totally understand a new owners frustration to see their car like this.

Maybe call it, "Tears in my Eyes". It is a sin that those cars are being abused like that. I got lucky and mine was made in January and shipped to North Texas and bought it in March.

Alright, everyone start calling the sales department to see what deals they are gonna give for those shit snowed/salted out, tires ruined Camaros as well as raise some hell about how they store their cars so future customers don't fall in to this trap. A shame to say the least...

I could 100% for sure care less. I unfortunately have a 2 car garage at my house and usually 1 of my cars along with my new F150 stays outside and it's just not a big deal to me. They are disposable cars meant to be driven hard and enjoyed. I'm too poor to have something this expensive (Zl1, ctsv, and Z06) to barely drive, and sit in my garage covered. If I wanted something to cherish and stare at without enjoying I would have bought a Picasso painting. Ppl always ask me ( locals in the Mexico league) why do I daily my cars instead of getting a beater and using that instead of putting wear and tear on my 3. My answer is always the same (bought em to use em) and not at a track.

I don’t think this is an argument about using the car, but rather actual damage to the tires being the compound they are made of...particularly the 1LEs

I wouldn’t buy a ZL1 that was sitting in the snow like in the PIC. I would never drive a ZL1 in the snow or with salt on the roads.

To each their own. But to me, here in NJ, it is common to see cars covered in snow like this. Heck both of my cars were covered in snow. It happens just about every year. None of my cars have had harmful effects from this. Not the tires, not the aluminum, nothing. So to me it isn't a big deal. Would I buy one of those? Absolutely. They are fantastic cars to say the least. Having snow on them for a day or two or even a week won't harm them one bit. Either way someone will buy it and be happy.
