Canada 370 storage- What's your winter beater?!

z370z · 01-27-2010, 07:52 PM

If you store your baby for the cold salty winter roads of Canada, what is your secondary source of transportation?

I'm sporting a classy red dodge neon, big difference from the z but fun to drive in the snow with no worries!

wheee! · 01-27-2010, 07:56 PM

My daily winter driver is a Lincoln MKX with AWD. If I need it, I also have a 96 Contour POS...

DD is a 2004 Honda Civic (auto, ugh!)

FricFrac · 01-27-2010, 08:49 PM

DD is my 370Z - we almost cracked 13C (56F) here today. I did keep my '99 Jeep Cheroke Larado insured for the year because I though I'd use it a fair amount in the "winter" but thankfully its been sitting lonely on the side of the road

Sucks for the Oympics but its great for us 370Z drivers

Let me know when winter gets to Vancouver...!

Do they sell "rain" tires there?

2009 Z71 GMC 2500HD Duramax EC 4x4

Usually seen in the NW trying to chase down Snake's 370Z on the snowy roads to the carwash

almost caught him once ....... but he turned off into the carwash and I lost sight of him

I see him now and then on the way to work, but he drives way too fast for me!! At least in the Lincoln... If he is posted to Gagetown, probably won't see him around later than June...

i drive a '03 sentra se-r and a '89 toyota truck.... Beaters are fun to drive!

SigPapa226 · 01-28-2010, 08:18 AM

Since the Black Cherry is garaged for the winter, my new beater is my 300 ZX TT .... unless it snows & then I just stay home.

CAN-ZED · 01-28-2010, 08:45 AM

still drive the Z on good days,
been a relativley mild and snowless winter in Toronto, but even if I get caught in snow, Blizzaks work great on the Z
on bad days, drive a 01 Sentra....

Sibze · 01-28-2010, 09:20 AM

I got a great Saturn Ion (2003) little different than the Z... Almost same colour tho!

IDZRVIT · 01-28-2010, 11:30 AM

I take the '03 SporTrac to work and the wife takes the '02 Kia Spectra.
