I like to see cars driven in all types of weather, thats a true measure. I drove a 1993 300z TT on a 8 hour ride through a snowstorm from Huntington WV to Annapolis MD one winter. Was careful, use little brakes, and feathered the throttle. I made it, while I watched the SUV's go flying by and getting stuck in the median. iT was black, but when I pulled in to the driveway it was mostly a salty encrusted whiteish whale...

It's a bit worse here in Colorado; they use magnesium chloride which is excellent at melting ice and metal

Oh, and it creates a nasty white film as well.

I've driven 36 from Boulder to Denver to the airport, before the I470 was done, in snow many times...in a FWD rental beater, once again no problems but lots of hulking SUV's stuck in the median. Snooty Audi drivers always say "yes, but what do you do when it snows".....just say "I still drive!" Keep rolling the Nismo in the flakes!

LOL......that is awesome! I can''t agree more though. My girl has a 2WD Tahoe, but I drive the Z unless she wants to go somewhere with the kids..........then she makes me drive the Tahoe......

I had a 350 as my only car from 03 to 08 - blizzaks made her go just fine in the white stuff. My favorite comment in all the years was not about my new nismo but in a blizzard by a couple a guys stuck in a bank and as i "drifted by" burning tires for traction when i heard "holy ****, was that a z out in this ?"

around these parts, you'll get in more trouble for NOT making any crude jokes about your crusty white film experiences...
