All together just a lot better then the Camaro for what I need to do. Just sucks cause I <3 my Camaro and I would have no choice but to sell it then figure out where to get a bunch more money for the TBSS.
I just don't see why you can't just park the Camaro and buy something, oh I don't know, more practical?
If you think your TB SS is going to get through the snow with those low-profile Goodyear piles of ****, you are sadly mistaken. You might be lucky to get through light to medium rain with them.
Look, do what you want, but if I had a massive life change where I now have to travel long distances, through various climate changes, and you want to pick a 400hp SUV with 20 inch wheels?

I figured i could get enough performance out of the TBSS to keep me happy and it would be a good amount better in the rain and snow situations and WORLDS better at the people and stuff carrying. I know it wouldn't be the most practical thing to do and i also didnt expect it to be. And i would also have no problem buying a beater wrangler or something but i have absolutely no room left as is for another vehicle it looks like im trying to run a car lot out of a 1 car garage and 2 car driveway right now >_<

I have driven through plenty of bad weather. Yes the stock tires suck. But it's not nearly as bad as you are making it al

Tune it, stack it, and be happy not owning a jeep product.

Only downside is, there is no chance of becoming a mod without owning a jeep.

Fairly certain a dmax gets better MPG than the TBSS.
