One day event....snow

Real good idea driving a Camaro in the snow, along a mountain path. What could go wrong?

I love that generation of Camaro

Could be worse.
Could be a cabrio.

Ex-spouse and yours Trudy (see my Prufrock comment;) did go Franconia from Hamburg in an oldtimer Alpha Spider during a snowstorm and all the while I was subject to (alleged, as it can be done by anyone, anywhere but works particularly well in cabrios during snowstorms) Chinese torture by having this one giant icy drop of melted snow water coming down on my head 'PLONG' in irregular intervals.
Then, suddenly, in the middle of one of those long Autobahn bridges over the middle of nowhere, the whole car system simply shut down and I blame no Italina Pinin Farina for refusing snowstorms while being refused showstopping in Bella Italia on any Piazza but my chauffeur repaired our Spider with much good talking to it so when we finally rolled into his tiny hometown at two in the morning, all dressed up in furs as there was no heating in the car and the Dashboard refused to speak to us after The Bridge Experience, we were stopped by local police.
I am sure they took us for drug dealers but my driver had quickly put the motor out so we wouldn't be held back if they asked about if the car was ok and then they wanted our papers and recognised their neighbourhood boy and got all amiable about his homecoming for Christmas but later, over a well-earned beer and sausages with Sauerkraut (yes really, from a tin;) in the kitchen, he accused me of having caused the car break-down by my too heavy luggage which was for two weeks including evening wear as this was for Christmas 1999 and New Year's Eve 2000.
So,
kids (I hear, that's the word for twenty-somethings, these days?) don't drive a Pinin Farina Alpha Spider through a snowstorm in the mountains!
