Doug DeMuro: Viper GTS in winter

On summer tires.

This is dumb. Summer tires are not ok in cold weather unless you are very careful. Wet, worse. Add snow and that is just stupid. A tiny bit colder or a tiny bit more snow/slush and it would be an entirely different result.

Jamie just now: "If you can afford a Viper then you can afford a daily driver."

The way in this morning was slippery as it is currently snowing. I saw a car coming toward me in the other direction and the headlights screamed C5. Could it be??? Yup, a C5. Convertible. Except that car has ABS, TC and it has a decent chance of also having Stabilitrack. And I doubt that guy was on summer tires.

It might be better to drive than the Viper in winter (not saying much) but just as stupid with all the salt if you want to keep it.
