Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone else depressed about putting their Z away for the winter?

Winter? What kind of car part is that? I've never heard of winter mod in LA.

Not really, each year I find it liberating to know that I won't be putting any miles on my Z until next summer.

Put mine away 2 weeks ago, but I get to see her everyday in the back of the garage.

In DFW, putting away your car lasts like what? 4 to 6 weeks before your summer tires work again? Lol

Winter storage is just a nice way to keep the miles down for half the year... Which then encourages me to drive twice as much in the other half

Not really depressed. Sad yes. However, it gives me something to look forward to in the spring when I take the cover off and pull it out of the garage for the first time. It's like taking delivery of a new car again.

I haven't stored it away just yet since we've been having a mild fall. But, I may be giving it a final wash and wax this weekend in preparation for winter hibernation. We'll see.
