Guess no one is driving their Camaro in the Midwest - Page 2

Another Missourian here. I had to take mine out a couple weeks ago in sub freezing when the battery in my Subaru decided it didn't want to hold a charge. It won't be coming back out any time soon.

Funny thing is, Detroit was s’posed to get hit with 6-14” of snow today through tomorrow. So far it’s way less than that. Less than 3”. BUT I saw four Camaros out on my drive to and from Costco. Including a 5th Gen Z28 and 19-22 SS Vert.

Bracing for bad weather, that’s actually pretty funny. (I know not for him) We got a couple feet of snow a few days back. It’s now a salty nightmare here. Unless there’s heavy rains and warm temperatures for multiple days , there’s no sense driving the Camaro (more clean up work than it’s worth). The south is calling my name.

I'm not sure what's worse, the most likely cancerous chemicals used here or the salt you guys use. I guess I'm ok with dying an early death if it means I don't live to see my car rust...

I hear ya... The problem I have is I dislike the heat and humidity more then I dislike winter. I had family friends that moved down to FL and since have moved back. They said they got sick of only being able to turn off the AC for a few weeks a year. Every area has their pro/cons. I like to ride my motorcycle too and riding when it's 90 and humid is miserable.

I know the humidity is a killer over the long haul. Something along the lines of the Carolina’s may work out. Too soon to say, but I’m just tired of complaining about the winter. Some people love it… not me.

I "tolerate" it. I don't neither love or hate it really. I wouldn't mind maybe like Kentucky or Tennessee..

I know you guys just got your ass kicked last week and your gonna get it again. My sister in law lives in Munson Mass. and the further you were east the less snow. I know Boston got 24 or so last week and saw they might get another 8. That is a shit load of snow.

Mine will sit in the garage for a bit The hill to my apartment is steep enough and it has a curve a quarter of the way up it to prevent any momentum. One of the big reasons my car sits in the winter. Wife and I end up sharing the Subaru during these events there is pros though I don't have to worry about cleaning salt/chemicals off the Camaro.

OMG, garage queens!. I put some winter tires on and daily drive the camaro IN MINNESOTA! It's just a car, it goes it stops, i get to work, i go home. easy peasy, no drama. It's actually very fun to roll on the gas so the rear end steps out without burning rubber. Salt washes off.
