What do you drive, besides the 370Z? Winter vehicle

fire165 · 02-01-2017, 07:22 PM

This is more towards the cold regions crowd, and more as a daily driver vehicle to drive during the winter months or just to keep the Z for the "special occasion"
Winter here in Chicago is pretty harsh, so no need to drive it on summer tires with freezing rain or snow.
I'll start.
I have a 2005 Nissan Altima that I bought brand new. Perfect FWD.

I switch between a 1998 Maxima and a 1998 Toyota Camry

My other car.... Hmmm, I'd rather not say so I dont have to suffer any jokes and humiliation...

But 250,000 miles on it and 52mpg.... Haven't I suffered enough?

I'm all about that daily life.

Jayhovah · 02-01-2017, 08:18 PM

Ford Ranger... though its more of a rain vehicle here in central FL than a winter one.

The Z, an '11 model year Touring Sport, is one of the winter beaters in my household; my wife loves her Z, so she drives it year round. My winter beater varies from one winter to another, but nowadays it's an '85 Corvette with 67k miles, it has Z51 package, a Doug Nash 4+3, and a set of winter tires. Usually, mine is a full-size GM pickup, the past two winters they were a Short Crew '15 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE Z71 2WD (5.3l, 6-speed) and a Standard Crew '16 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4WD (5.3l, 8-speed).

Actually, this winter it could be the '17 (Short Crew SLT 4WD with 6.2l and 8-speed), but I committed the '85 and I'm enjoying it.
