It was choppy as hell for me too.

Regardless of that, remind me to never buy your car. I've never understood why people would drive F-bodys, Mustangs, or Corvettes in the snow. To each their own, but I'll never buy one of these cars knowing it had been winter driven.

I'll never understand why people are bothered by driving a fbody, a Mustang, or a Corvette in the snow. It's not like they are exotics cars. They are very common cars and they are inexpensive for the most part.

Just about ever f-body has seen snow, rain or some harsh weather before it was even at the dealer. The whole " never has seen rain" or snow for that matter is bs...

^^ exactly.. it's not like our cars have those stickers inside like cellphones do..which turn pink when water has trickled onto it. enjoy our cars, break em' down, build em' up. as for the video...that was kind of lame no offense. It felt as if I was watching a child ride on a pony going around in circles. Kick that rear out!

Snow won't kill the car any more than rain will.

I guess it's because I see those cars as toys. You don't buy those cars for basic transportation, you buy them because of the joy they bring while you drive them. When I have something like that I take care of it. Being from Minnesota, I know what the snow and salt does to cars and never wanted that to happen to my toys. That's why I've always had a winter beater to ride in for the months when there's white stuff on the ground.

Are they exotics? No. However, they do end up costing you a ton more than your average DD, especially when you add the cost for modding them. I just can't see having that money go to pot because you let moisture and salt ruin the undercarriage. Besides, these cars drive like **** in the winter. Plus you have to worry about other dipshits on the road crashing into something you put so much time and money in.

But, to each their own. If you don't care about what happens to your car, fine with me. Like I said, I just wouldn't be buying your car when you're done with it.
