How to take care of your 370Z during winter.
I figure with the price now out, us Canadians might grab our Zs before all the snow is gone.
I know one good investment would be a softcloth snow brush. Or by the time it's summer you'll have scrach marks everywhere. I dont think winter tires are a must for this winter since it's almost over. But room for speculation. The car being so low, it might be a good idea to have a portable shovel for those days you can't pull into your street because of snowplow mountains. Floor Mats! |
Dude what snow - its 12 deg C here...
|
aw.
Toronto Ontario. -20 to -30. NOT INCLUDING WIND CHILL!!! |
ha you got the cold snap we had here in Alberta. but it was 10 here today. But way worse for the car. the roads are all wet and dirty. (I will be posting before and after pics of my G tomorrow if I get time.

Driving on summer tires in dry freezing winter gives you false sense of security. The summer tires get hard and feel like you're driving on hockey pucks. Not advisable. If you plan to drive your Z through next winter as well, you might as well get winter tires. Although I understand it's tempting to jus get through those couple of months. |
But dude, with the price out now us Canadians are looking at March. March dude. Can you even buy winter tires in March?

I was originally planning on driving my Z next winter, just getting some snow tires and rims for it. After having it almost two weeks though and babying it already (Here in Edmonton, even though there has been no snow on the roads since I got her, with the amount of sand and other sh!t they leave on the road until like may, it seems like im off-roading everytime i go out!) I'm now thinking i'm gonna store it next winter and just get some beater. Granted, WRT paint/potential glass damage, this is probably the worst time of year for it.. I sure miss Toronto now that I have the Z! :|
Also, is it just me or are these potenza's really wanting hot streets.. seems like i'm getting a fair bit of tire slippage, not even driving really fast. Should check that the dealer put the right pressure in.. hmm.. |
getting a beater and storing the Z :)
