Flipping z's

sp911 · 06-05-2015, 02:13 PM

I think a lot of people trade it in after their first winter with the car, or the fact it isn't everyone's cup of tea. if i'm asked about my z I say "the ride is rough, it has huge blind spots, no cargo room, it's hard to get in and out, and totally sucks in the winter. I wouldn't trade it for anything."

The car isn't that bad with a dedicated set of winter tires/rims. I went through the entire winter without losing traction at all. Ground clearance becomes the biggest problem as the sport chin spoiler becomes a plow after 5" of snow.

Me too. I put some Blizzaks and it did excellent in Colorado Winter.

It's even better if you buy a P.O.S. Jeep Cherokee for less than $2k and add a lift kit. Driving a Z in winter is retarded IMO.

You're supposed to drive your Z in the summer.

However, driving it in the snow is stupid; that's what 4WD is for. I've seen Z's smashed into guard rails because their owners thought the laws of physics didn't apply to them.

Why would I want to drive a POS for 5 months out of the year? The car did fine with a set of 18's and Blizzaks.

Besides, the only thing I hate more than lifted trucks are Hondas.

I'm too anal about keeping my Z nice. Doesn't help any that it's got black paint.
