Don't drive in snow or salt still on the road and if I know it will be raining. Did drive it in a gully wash on the way home from last years Imports at Carlisle. Took me 3 hours to detail it afterwards. My Z is actually my 3rd car, 1st in winter is 2005 Nissan Titan, 1st in summer 2003 Mitsu Eclipse with vert. doors. So the Z is only a good weather car.
