I dont think they were haters, just more concerned that you may crash into them, they wanted to save their cars as well, which is understandable. Slippery cars in sleet/ice can be very dangerous missiles and can hit any car at any given time.

Yeah, that is why I don't take my Z out in the snow. These cars are just not ideal for that kind of weather.

Keep that car off the road on snowy days, young fellow. We don't want to lose you.

Here is a quote from Bullet Tooth Tony somewhat appropriate to the story - "Never underestimate the predictability of ########"

Glad you made it home safe friend.

This. Sounds like summer tires in the snow/sleet. Not wise.

Time to put on a set of snow tires for your own good and for others as well. Summer tires lose tractions under low temperature even if it's not snowing. This thread might be helpful for you.
