When Are You Bringing Your Z Back Out?

Dizzy · 03-18-2011, 09:20 PM

It's that time of year for those of us that stored our beloved cars. So, when are you bringing yours out? I figure with all the snow should be gone in the next day or so around here and the rain forcast for next week will give the roads a good rinse. I'm thinking I'll be on the road by the first week of April!!

Mid April will see my Carbon Silver out again.....salt all gone and snow should be done for year. Winter rims will be off the daily driver by then too :-)

April 1st.

I'm going for April 1st as well... Although I've been tempted to take it out a couple of times already... I'm not in Canada though...

Here in Alberta, the roads have a lot of sand/rock chips from the winter until at least mid-May. Plus the spring melt off isn't done until at least the end of April. So I will usually insure the car for the road on June 1. Makes for a short season, since I take the Z off the road Oct 1. Keeps the mileage down though ..lol

How many kms do you have on yours?

KanataZ · 03-19-2011, 11:30 AM

Looking at the sunshine today is making it very temping, but the weather network sadly says it's minus 4 out there. Plus the roads are dirty, wet and lots of salt still around.

I have always gotten my bike out before the end of March - even if it was just to tour around the block, so I'm hoping the same this year for the Z.

Whenever it is, it won't be soon enough.

Prolly second week of April. We're sposed to get 15 cm of snow over the next 3 days here in Calgary. ****. ****. ****.

My guess without actually checking ...... 6,000 Km

Maybe March 26th weekend, if not it will be out for sure first weekend in April...no snow, dry roads but dusty and still some major roads need to be swept and cleaned. Plus wishing for a good rain to clear off some of the dust.

I took mine out for a good spin yesterday. Gotta run down to dealership today to have them check out something. Other than that she comes out when the sun is shining and then sprayed off and back into the garage.

IDZRVIT · 03-19-2011, 03:55 PM

It's out!!! Put the insurance back on a week ago and have had it out twice.

Hmmm that's funny - I'm in Canada and my car is on the road all year round. Maybe you should move to Canada so you don't have to store you car for the winter ;P

Lol, well I have another car so I don't have to drive my car on the crappy roads during the winter.... Half the road seems to sink into the earth during winter time here, creating pot holes all over the place
