Why are Camaro and Mustang owners driving in this weather?

Well, ya'll can take comfort in the fact that some sports car drivers are paying the price for their choices. I just walked to work in 5°F again. Maybe next month I'll be able to fix my truck, who knows. Maybe not... gotta save for Uncle Sam at that point, too. Oh well.

I don't have any car payments, so that's a plus. Right?

IMHO that's absolutely a plus! Walking to work in this weather sucks though. I've had to do it many times while traveling to large cities and international locations. Dress shoes on ice suck BIG TIME!

Yeah at least I get to wear utility boots. lol No way I'd have walked it in dress shoes. I was already carrying my laptop bag, so I passed on the coffee and lunch bag my wife wanted to send with me. lol

Oh well... again, there're worse situations to be in.

Maybe not "10-wheel-drive" and probably uncomfortable in the cold, but six wheels on an articulated vehicle might just be something good...

...anyone got a Gama-Goat?

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.

HEY! (It worked for me for a lot of years ...)

haha, I've not been stuck in 2wd

I've been stuck way too many times in hard to get to areas with 4wd

And i bet you never got close to the hard to get areas with your 2wd.

This “traction control” **** they are putting on vehicles is worthless ****! I spend lots of time “off-road” and in my experience with the traction control on Chevy and Dodge pickups that piss poor excuse for modern technology will get you in a jam. When I stomp the throttle I want 100% power to the wheels! I wouldn’t mash it to clean the tires and get the rpms up if I didn’t need to. I prefer my rpm and traction control to be managed by my foot. Thankfully they include a button to turn that ridiculous **** off.

Oh and knobs on the dash to engage 4wd, they can keep that **** too! If I suddenly start breakin through a soft spot I wanna be able to jerk that dude in 4wd and get some power thrown to the ground before I’m on the frame.

Cow' I agree on the traction control. It is crap and in most instances is a hinderence. You should understand that even though there is the little Traction Control "off" button that it is really not truly off. I believe with the truck in 4Low is the only way to truly to get TT off.

Didn't mean to do three in a row here.

My Ram 2500 Mega Cab with Cooper ST Maxx ATs make for a great combo in the rain, ice and snow. I've had it in some heavy snow and ice. Haven't needed chains but have the V-bar chains. More of a comfort of having in the mountains in CA and Montana and for the occasional ice storms in OK if i happen to be there. Wouldn't trade it for anything other than the newest model year.
