How much did that cost? Sport or non sport?

Mine is a base car, so a pair of 245/45-18 Blizzaks out the door was about $700, without TPMS.

Today will be the last, if I can get home in time, it will be out until I move. Then it'll sit in that garage as well.

No such thing as hibernation for mine. Long as no rain and snow or salt on the ground the car is always out.

Oh believe me I would... except for early morning start ups kinda wakes the neighbors. Other than that I don't think it bothers that many people.

Edit: I retract my statement... Listening to more youtube videos of it (seems to be more now) I want to take out the silencer.

So this weekend the GF and I were in Hermann Mo for some wine tastings. We got lost on an old gravel road, and on the way back down the road we hit a slick spot on a downhill with an unexpected turn at the top of the hill on the other side. The traction control and ABS kicked in and straightened me out rather than letting me turn. It was snowing about 2 inches and turning into ice as soon as it hit the ground because it was only 32 degrees out. We ended up in the ditch, but everyone is fully okay.

I was in my Subaru Forester XT on general altimax arctics (some of the best snow tires out there). It just goes to show that it doesn't matter if you have AWD, RWD, FWD or whatever, you're still at risk of sliding, even on good winter tires. If I was in my Z I think it would have been a lot worse than it actually was.

Stay safe out there this winter guys! Make sure you always have some sort of small roadside emergency kit because you never know when it'll come in handy.

Long time everyone!!

I've been stuck under what seemed to be some really heavy rocks.. but no more!

How's everyone doing? I've made no changes to my z yet, but now that things are starting to calm down I can afford to treat her right.
