That is Firestorm's Camaro, pics from www.mfba.org.

We got 6-12 inches of snow yesterday depending on where you are located. In Chicago, we got 6-7 inches for sure.

Wow! I don't miss driving my 'bird in that stuff anymore.

I love how the hood/windshield area is such a great snow catcher

happy to live down here..... it snowed here for X-mas.... didnt really snow..... just a slight drizzle.... and you should have seen how many people crashed and how people reacted to the small amount of "snow" that we had.... can only imagine how bad it is to drive up there

PSJ, I think the 6-7 in chicago was just in the second round (last night). We had about 2 the night before and another couple during the morning/early afternoon. I think it was more like 10-12" total. I took a couple measurements in my back yard where I hadn't touched the snow yet and total it was about 10" here in Lincolnwood (immediatly north of Chicago) for the whole event.....

yeah I saw a red T/A in the snow yesterday with stock F1's trying to make it up hill. He was going nowhere! I drove right past him with ease with my snow tires and 100lbs of weight in the rear in my LS1.

Probably a winter configuration to protect better wheels from the salt......

Most people around here with nice wheels swap them out for something shitty in the winter. I did with my 98 Z34. Weve got about 7 inches here in SE Minny. Supposed to get up to 16" this coming week.
