It's just a JZ swapped MK3. It's heavy, loud and old but I love it.

Z goes in storage in mid-November and awakes in mid-March. Same deal as when I owned my 2008 C6.

Winter driver is a 2014 Ram 1500.

Z stored from late November to late March. We don't get much snow on the west coast, but I like to keep the road salt off it. Jeep Rubicon for the winter (and driving to work all year).

Parked for the looooooong Edmonton winters.
Copying Mr. Galeforce this year with his winter vehicle, actually would have it already if Nissan would sort their APR out!

clkio · 01-25-2015, 07:21 AM

Over the winter, I take it out on nice sunny days to get the car moving a little. Other than that, its parked.

mishuko · 01-25-2015, 09:46 AM

parked... I did sneak it out in December when it was 12* outside... that was nice. especially the fact that it would have been a 40buck fill in the summer was just shy of 30

djyu · 01-25-2015, 11:46 AM

I've only taken out the Z on sunny and nice days without snow. Lately Toronto hasn't had much snow soo its been nice!

Besides that I'm driving a Nissan Micra this winter if I don't drive the Z.

Tran905 · 01-25-2015, 11:48 AM

Gas is 83 cents right now...I gotta get the Z out and fill her up!

JF450 · 01-25-2015, 08:21 PM

It got winter tires on. I drive it a couple times every week. I don't need to drive to work so buying a second car just to leave it parked everyday is kinda pointless for me.

Gurps · 01-25-2015, 09:58 PM

I drive mine all year round as I live in Vancouver and we barely even know what winter is here. Hit plus 14 Celsius today perfect day for a drive. Had my car for three years and driven all year on summer tires. The odd time the weather does turn bad I park it and take transit. Over the last three years I only had to do this once. They rarely salt roads here and when they do the rain just washes it all way. I was my car every month in the front yard as we always get few warm days every month so Easy to keep clean all year.

Hey what ever works for you

you guys have it better in GTA then me out my way. I am more SW in SW Ontario. I live in one of the "snow belts" so there is no shortage of white stuff. However this year has been one of the lightest ones I can remember. I won't complain about that though

you guys are lucky weather wise out in Vancouver

Even the East coast get less snow then here

But not Alberta or any other part of the prairies

I drive until the city puts gravel on the roads, and pull her out again right after they sweep it all off. Don't want any chips or windshield damage.
