Damn, another parking thread where some jerk took up 2 parking spots. He is looking for someone to key his Camaro!

Sorry if the photo is sideways.

It is the norm to see cars in the ditch and stuck in this area. All kinds. That was a rav 4. Carried on to work passing 2 trucks, 1 Subaru and one tow truck. All of them stuck.

Being careful and driving smart makes all the difference

The biggest problems I ever had with my past two Camaros is that I couldn't GO anywhere, I'd get stuck in one spot ... at least with the '83 (auto). The '89 (stick) I put weight in and never had an issue (all season tires on them too, not summer rubber).

Yep, got an extra set of wheels/tires for mine for the winter.

ditto here, a couple inches in the CLE today and only had one issue at a stop light because it was pure ice. No car or truck can win the ice war.

otherwise it was clear sailing on my General Altimax Artics

I came up on the east side this morning ... 55th/490 area, the roads were mostly dry or just wet ... no snow or ice except in the parking lot at work.

Yeah Florida is great. How does the Camaro handle in a hurricane?

Even on my FWD with all seasons it was sketchy. I can do it but I don't like it lol

We've had a mild winter so far up here this year. Usually going to work half the time we're driving through 2 to 3 inches of slush with a layer of packed snow under it just for fun.Plows can't keep up sometimes .

It can get scary at times.

I said the same thing "...why park there, and if he was trying to parallel park it, he missed that too".

Camaro being put on light duty for a little while

Looks like we got a decent winter storm barreling towards us from mostly Thursday till Saturday. Freezing rain and some decent snow accumulation along with temps that haven't gotten above freezing for the last 5 days or so. I'm not even going to chance it tomorrow, much less the rest of the week.

Looks like some parts of VA and southern W.VA could see a foot of snow. My area by some models is predicted for only 1-3 inches but the freezing rain scares me way more than that so.

As I have said many times before if you got 4 snow tires on her shit like that don't happen.

This thing is like a mountain goat with the blizzaks
