Liability insurance is cheap! If you live in the city, use public transportation. Why would you buy any car with bald tires? Save the Z from the harsh winter weather and roads. lol I'm just messing with you.

Honestly everyone's situation is different. My little civic isn't worth but a couple of thousand bucks. It's cheap to maintain, good on gas, and comfortable. Best of all it allows me to really enjoy the time I spend with my Z. I'm not worried about having to drive the Z in bad conditions.
