Default DR's and snow dont mix!

I got stuck in a snow storm in king george on my way back home, and there was a little ice patch under a blanket of snow and lets just say I didn't see it. I know my exhuast is screwed but I think everything else is fine. heres a pic.

Question isn't why drive in the snow on DRs but why drive a CAMARO in the snow in the first place? I understand some people might have it as the only daily driver but these cars are not made to be drivven in snow. I myself don't even drive it in the rain, no fun.

You have a beautiful Camaro man, keep it off rain and snow and get yourself a little beater to drive when roads are wet or icy. Sorry to see this and hope you're ok. Do you have AAA road side or u had to pay for towing?

Glad to hear your ok. Glad it's just minimal damage. I agree with post above though, these cars aren't meant for this kind of weather. No sense in beating a dead horse though, get a cheap DD. Save that ride for the the beautiful days.

back when i was DD'ing my NBM Z, i was driving home from a girlfriend's house, about 6" of snow on the ground, slid out of the cut track, and ended up in the ditch. we had to wait about a week before we could pull it out because it was a blizzard. surprisingly i avoided any damage of any kind.
