I planned for my first question in here to cover a great deal more than what I'm about to ask, but alas, I've found myself in a tight spot today and need some help!
. I'm a 24 year old girl with limited car knowledge, so please pardon my ignorance
I just got a 2009 370z after someone totaled my 06 tiburon. I adore this car so far, but I digress. Today I drove to school (approx five minutes away on highway, 10 or less on alt route). It was really nice yesterday and so naturally I was really surprised this morning when I arrived to school and it started snowing.
I don't have any special tires and really need to drive home before my next class (I'm wearing heels and need flats for a lab, but again, I distress
Lol) my boyfriend can take me back, but I don't want to leave the car at school.
I guess my question is, how grim is my situation? I've
always driven really well in the snow and take my time. I never had an issue with the tiburon, although I think that's front wheel drive, right? How might these two cars differ?
I also haven't had much experience driving a manual until getting this car. I'm doing really well, and a handful of experienced drivers told me they were surprised I was new to driving one. I'm still worried how that might affect my ability to drive well in the snow.
Lastly, I haven't gotten a chance to see how hard it's coming down or weather it's even sticking at all. It say it could vary from being just wet roads to an inch or so.
Any advice is appreciated!
