Well besides rain and earthquakes, California doesn't get enough snow to say it snows here lol.. let alone much weather at all lol

I drive mine in the rain all the time lol, I think of it as a free car wash if it rains hard and long enough

In the winter, with snow on the ground, a 370Z is the POS. The Z car is a one-trick pony.

wrapping yourself around a pole isn't a trick?

My other car is the bus or the train.

Haha funny you should say that. I was looking at the WRX as well but there is no point in me owning two four seater cars. I am looking at the 370Z on top of my current TL Type S.

Well in that case use the acura for going to the mountain. Use the Z in proper conditions only. Once you buy one, and put on a bodykit and other mods, you will not be interested in strapping your snowboard to your Z. Many people DD their Z sure it is possible, but its better if you have another car for snow, rain, the mall parking lot, etc..

This is ridiculous. Like saying make love to your wife in only the missionary position, use a hooker when you want a BJ or try another position. The wife can do it and so can the Z. I drive my car year round and my wife too. When you do this, you show that you love your Z, otherwise it's just a trophy.
