Oh, to stay on topic: I plan to buy winter tires, though global warming has been in full effect in New York City recently... temperatures in the mid to high 60's?!
I bought winter tires too, but have yet to put them on. I was planning on installing the winters this weekend, but it was too nice out. It must've been damn near 70 F yesterday and today. My plan is to wait until the daytime temps drop to 40 F or less. At this rate I might have an unused set of winter wheels by next spring.

As far as winter driving goes, I had a '76 Chevy Monte Carlo in high school. I'll bet that car with the 350cid, racing cam, straight pipes w/ glasspacks, and 275 B/F Goodrich's handled the snow much worse than the 370Z with winter tires will. If it's bad out, I simply won't go to work, and that holds true whether or not I would drive my 370Z or if I owned a snowmobile. Well, maybe not if I had a snowmobile, but you get my point. The worst thing you can do though is drive with the summer rubber on snow or wintery roads.
