Putting the Z to bed for the winter :(
 

Well.. it is that time of the year again in Minnesota.. time for the Z to go to sleep until March/April. Hooked up the battery tender and going to throw the cover on it tomorrow.

Very sad day for me :( as much as I love Minnesota, I do sometimes wish that I lived in a state where I could drive the Z year round haha!

Texas has great weather and plenty of room :)

And to think that my wife uses a Z for her winter beater ...

Same with California :-)

Yeah but we have water.

Edit: and great beer.

:iagree:

I'm pretty sure California is about to fall off into the ocean :twocents:

:icon17:

El Niño sapposed to change that this year :-)

Hoping to squeeze a couple more weeks out of it here in southern MN..

I'm gonna take mine for one last road trip next weekend in ND then it's time for hibernation as well.

My Z also goes in to hibernation over the winter months, we get crappy weather most of the year in the uk:(

Mine has been parked lately; due to the excessive rain in SC,,, but really enjoy driving the ~Z~ in that dense-cold December,January air!

the only days i dont drive Z is when its raining here in CA. you know where this is going:icon17:

I'm usually done for the season by now, but we have been having some freakishly warm weather here in northeast Pa. I'm OK with it, though!

It's been warm here in Chicago as well. I usually don't put the Z away completely in the winter. I leave a battery tender on it most of the time, but when the roads are clear I still go for a drive from time to time. Glad to have an old Avalon for a winter car...wish it was a stick though. I think I miss rowing my own gears more than anything.

Here in the middle of Minnesota I'll be driving my Z until the first snowfall, then switch to the 4x4. The Z does OK on cold roads, but it's just not driveable in even the lightest snow without snow tires. Even with snow tires it's a pig to drive, so I don't want to waste the money on tires and rims just to have transportation. I bought the car because it's fun to drive. It's not fun to drive in the winter. The truck is.
