Camaro gets stuck in a snowstorm in Atlanta

As we already saw today in Texas, driving your rear-wheel drive muscle car like this Camaro in a snowstorm is a terrible idea. This time we have a driver in the Atlanta, Georgia area who appears to be stranded thanks to a light dusting of snow on the road, proving that it doesn’t take much to bring the Chevy to a stop.

Too bad these people don’t have a “jumping” Chinese supercar.

Footage recorded by a reader’s dashcam shows the Chevrolet Camaro stopped sideways on or at least near the median of a fairly major road. His nose is pointed toward the shoulder on one side and his backside is toward the other shoulder, clearly spun outward.

Since the muscle car isn’t moving, nor are the rear tires just spinning uselessly, we assume the driver has given up trying to get out without assistance. Perhaps he has been called for help or is waiting for a Good Samaritan to help him out of the mess?

Or maybe he’s already left the car behind and plans to pick it up after the storm passes. We hear of people being stranded during this monster storm and abandoning their vehicles in Atlanta and other southern cities.

What’s interesting is that an officer with his lights on drove right past the disabled Camaro in the video. Did the officer save the person? Did he call a tow truck? Or are the resources in the area too scarce to do much?

We don’t know yet, but you can see early in the video that someone is walking around outside the Camaro as the officer crosses the median and turns around. We imagine they have plenty on their plate right now.

If you’re currently in one of the many areas of the US where snow is a bit of an exception and it falls from the sky and covers the roads, do yourself a favor and just stay home. Even if you have a vehicle capable of getting through the mess and you have experience driving in slippery conditions, you have no control over the stupid things other drivers can do.
