I bought this '13 Z Sports/ Navi leftover in 2914 so this is my 1st Winter. I do detailing as a hobby for myself and friends and barter instead of money. Most people wash their car via a "thru car wash" ( I don't) neglecting to go under the car and wheel wells because as long as it's clean on the outside nobody will see the bottom of the car only the mechanic on a lift.
So on that note I can promise you guys that mr rust will try to do it's thing on my car but being as anal as I am with taking care of my machine it will take a while before this happens, how many of you park outside all year round not worrying about the acid rain, bird crap or occasional vandalism to your car. Mot people that have garages use them to store crap and not protect one of the most valuable things they own. So I thank you for your advise but let's keep the negativism to the minimum please there is enough on that on the news which is why I hate TV and come here to chat with people that share one thing and that is driving a Z
It's people like you that will drive the prices of classic cars into the ground by not doing your part in thinning them out, if everyone with a '32 Ford, or '57 Chevy had your ideas about car care, there would be way more of them on the road and they would all be worthless because of the amount of them. I for one will not baby my car so that one day they will have a low resale due to numbers of them still on the road.
