A winter beater is nice, if you can afford it. Gotta have the space to keep it and a space to keep your Z protected in the "bad" months. In my state, I used to be able to take a car off the road and insure the one I was driving, but now the state insists that I carry insurance even on the car not driven, which makes this much more expensive to do. For many years I had a '91 Sentra SE-R which was a fantastic winter car with snows and its factory limited slip. Only problem was, the SE-R was more fun to drive than some of the cars I was "protecting"!! I had to eventually upgrade to a Z to get a car that came anywhere near being as much fun to drive!
