Why are Camaro and Mustang owners driving in this weather?

[GC7]

I've been watching News 9 and it seems like every time they go live and have road footage, you see sports cars stuck in the road.

Are the owners of these cars brainless? What makes them think they can drive through 8" ruts of snow on sport tires and RWD?

Last Monday I saw two wrecked mustangs from just the ice. I’ve had to help a BMW and a Challenger out of the snow. I don’t get why sports car owners are even considering heading out.

Maybe they blew the budget on 'em and don't have anything else to drive...

I was just griping about this to my wife. I seen a red challenger and I'm like, people. This is Oklahoma. We have crappy weather.

I realize not everyone needs a 4x4 with decent ground clearance 24/7, but you knew this snow was on the ground?

Almost as stupid as driving a 4X4 on dry streets 11+ months out of the year.

This. People don’t think about anything but the sex appeal or the phallic extension or whatever you want to call it. Practical application takes a back seat.

I've never, ever high centered on a dry street. Goes along with carrying a pistol. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it?

IDK...my 450hp RWD station wagon got me to and from work just fine...as you can see I found some of that deeper snow but pay attention to the task at hand and know how your car handles...
