In a weird way, I don’t know if I should applaud this act or cringe at it?

The roof rack is the best part. I wonder if he has a trailer hitch as well. I drove my 69 Camaro conv through college in Rochester NY and even with the non posi rear it did really well in the snow. I always thought those cocktail shakers helped get weight out over the corners which aided traction.

Ski racks, they clamp on the rail. Very popular with the swinging skiers back then. The Camaro I had, I bought from an avid skier who was on a rescue patrol, so he got free room every weekend at the resort at Lutsen, MN. My rails had plenty of scuffs from those racks getting put on every fall. Car had 100k on it at 4 years old... we drove 'em back then...
