what are your thoughts on driving the Z in th winter?
I personally do not have an option nor I like driving another car other than the Z. With that said, YES, I drive my Z all year long. You should be able to do the same as long as there's not too much snow.

i'm wondering what Z owners in cold climates are doing with their cars?
I am planning on buying a set of snow tires and mount them on lightweigh rims (preferably 18". Maybe the base rims will do the trick?).

Do you store it and drive a beater?
We get maybe 1 or 2 days of snow in the WHOLE winter season. Those days I either a. Borrow my dad's Infiniti. or b. take public transportation. It doesn't bother me.

Some say its better for your car to be driven and well maintained, even in the snow.
Never heard of this statement. No input.

I had HORRIBLE experience with the Z in snow. If you get a lot of snow in your area, I think it's not a bad idea to buy a cheap beater car.
