I am new to my V and will be driving it in Canadian winters. I have my 3M installed, a set of LM-25 Blizzacks ready to mount and look forward to powersiding every corner! I would rather drive my V than a beater. Hell, I could drive our company spare 2003 duramax, but I hate trucks...

ive driven my lt1 for the past 3 winters with snows. that thing was better than my any truck in 2wd. i only got stuck once and i was tryin to bust 3foot snow drifts. i want a winter beater but insurance for a small economy car is over twice of my camaro and a c5 vette is less than my camaro on insurance. i can buy a eco car and a cts-v but i cant do over 600 a month for a honda on insurance.

I too would rather drive a V all year long, especially with Blizzaks. That would be fun. But I cant feel good about subjecting my V to salt on the road. And the sand blast that goes with it. I was under it the other day and the bottom looks so clean/unrusted. I will keep it that way, and roll something else through the snow.

You're absolutely right... actually I was thinking an older Jeep Cherokee, Blazer, Etc... but RWD can be fun in the winter and I've been longing to try it again after 10+ years of FWD. I actually started out driving a RWD Nissan pickup during the winters, then moved to a Fiero... so I have had some experience with it.
Toss some studded tires on and you're all set
