Calgary (Deerfoot) is notoriously hard on paint. You're the poster child for durable paint!

You park yours in the winter?

Twice I've bought vehicles from the automall Glenmore @ Deerfoot.

BOTH times I got a rock chip in my brand new windshield within 5 minutes of leaving the dealership and pulling onto Deerfoot.

I bought the Z in the far NW instead

Oh man. Don't get me started on windshield rock-chips in Calgary or Edmonton; The Whitemud's not any less rude.

Those kids sitting under the orange tents knew me by name ... haha.

Default 370z in Snow
Not recommended.

1. REAR wheel drive/Sports Car/Power and Torque don't mix well together with snow. Specially if you have to drive in the highway and have to change lanes.

2. It's a nice car that should stay looking nice for as long as you can. Salt will not be good for your car. Also, even on a NON-snowy days the gravel will be rough on your car chipping away your bumper.

Recommendation:

Have another car more suitable for the winter.

This is just my personal opinion you may do as you feel is best.
