Let's be honest. Im not sure people from New Jersey even know what "winter" is really like, so advice given to someone in Colorado about driving a Z in "winter" conditions might not be the most relevant information. Add in the fact that your only 22, and can't possibly have enough experience to really even give advice in this area, and this starts to get dangerous.

In these parts we average 160" of snow every season. I drove my G35 coupe through 4 of those *#*!-ing winters with the most expensive snow tires I could find... I "made it through" most of the time and just didn't drive it when the snow got deeper than 3-4" (which happened quite a bit)

While it is "doable" it is VERY dangerous... I would strongly advise against if at all possible.

This is one of the reasons I didn't get the Z until I could afford a winter beater. It's a dedicated sports car. Purpose built.

Not to mention what's already been said... Why beat the piss out if such an awesome car driving it through the winter?!
