Enjoy your rust, if you don't end up in a ditch or under a truck first.

c'mom kids is just a car if it starts to rust I'll get another Z, but I will enjoy it all year around, where else can you drift n front of a cop and have him stare at you thinking you're just sliding around

uhmm let's say that the circumference around the Equator is 25k miles or so. I've been driving since 1973 illegally and legally since 1975. Driven rear wheel drive cars most f my youth since only trucks where 4 wheel drive and front wheel was not in the picture, lived all my life in NE and they didn't cancel school like now when a snow flake comes down, I drove a tractor trailer professionally for about 8 years and driven cross country numerous times from N to S and E to W and have not gotten in an accident caused by me do the math in miles driven.. I'll take my chances ..

Sure, you can probably get away with driving a Z in snow, but why would you? According to your profile you're 56 years old, so you have plenty of experience and know damn well that a Z is one of the worst winter-performing cars you can possibly buy. Why not have a winter beater and stop endangering yourself and everyone else on the road? They're out there; I got a 2004 Grand Cherokee for $1500.

Here's why I don't drive lightweight RWD cars in the winter if I have an alternative. It's just common sense. The first one is me last year, the 2nd is my wife 2 weeks ago.

We don't get much snow in Atlanta, but the ice storms will shut down the entire city. Last year was a catastrophe, but I was smart enough to keep my azz in the house where it was nice and warm. This is winter in Atlanta at a local meet this week
