Waited long enough!
 

Relatively new member, now, a new Z owner!!!

Finally purchased a 2009 PG auto/sport 370Z. :happydance:

Picked it up slightly used with 7k on it, and received a really good deal on it. Came with splash guards, carpeted floor mats/trunk, kick plates, clear bra, and remote start.

To make a long story short, picked it up in Chicago, and drove back to Milwaukee in the iciest conditions we have had this winter (it was a whiteout as well). Got stuck in the city trying to go up a small incline in the middle of the road. Was able to get over and have my roommate tow me out with my tow hook. Made it in one piece thankfully.:icon17:

So, greatest/worst new car experience. Potenzas are truly made out of hockey pucks. Out to buy a winter setup sooner than later.

great man glad you actually got one can i ask why not the manual, or was it an availability thing? Sucks you have to inflict all the salt damage to her.

Got the auto due to what was there and ease as a daily driver.

As for the salt damage, she will be fine as long as I take care of her. I got it to drive it, not to be a garage queen.

eh i said it's sad, not that you can't do it. it is hell on cars (as bad as they salt up here) and i hope you have a powerwasher with an undercarriage attachment and like weekly washes in freezing cold weather. I bought mine to drive it to but i plan to have it for a while and want to try to keep it from developing cancer in every corner of the body. I use winter as a time to save money and buy parts.

Yea, I understand where you are coming from. Salt is hell here.

I plan on having mine for a while as well. Maybe in a year or two, I'll get a winter car.

Congrats, happy to hear you got her home safe. TLC should be her shiny and in great condition!
